* I think the reason this bk was on such a fastrack the minute the filing hit the ground was that the OUCC knew it had a big time challenge ahead of itself to not allow this to go to a ch 7 fire sale (which is what the SEC was pushing for)..come up with a confirmable plan..convince the court to allow for a ch 11 liquidation..get it voted on.. confirmed ..and then have a shot at averting this Baring merger with SIC and work a deal of their own. If true it was a heroic effort but may have all been for not..?? We'll see eh.
