thank god good ol' slick was taking care of things... classic read

also it was very suspenseful, who would have guessed which investment bank would be brought in?

"In the RuffCo Golf situation, the Company naturally decides to hire Houlihan Lokey (“Houlihan Lokey”) (it is, after all, our case study), an investment banking firm with unsurpassed financial restructuring and distressed company M&A expertise"

but interested as well, bumping thread

 

Ultimately their original equity was zeroed out. They injected new money as part of the restructuring which became the equity which you are talking about. And when I say outplayed I am referring to Appaloosa largely winning on fraudulent conveyance on the Caesar’s Growth transaction and Elliott with their purchase of default swaps and then forcing bankruptcy through the courts making their swaps pay out. Keneth Liang from Oaktree had some big moments too.
