BCAP is the one facing bankruptcy, if the deal was shady (financing) then why not let them go under before settling they will likely settle for far less, also RIGH bankruptcy does not appear to be imminent by the appearances of their balance sheet.
There wasn't money involved, seems like the money owed was for "consulting services" not for cash, except the $31.9K that Aaron borrowed from Matt after stating he wouldn't borrow money from toxic financiers anymore.
