The Saga of Caesars

Came across this article and thought it was an interesting read.

There have been so many truly extraordinary twists and turns in the saga of Caesars Entertainment over the past eight years that it’s hard to pinpoint exactly when the whole thing went off the rails. After all, an $18.4 billion bankruptcy filing at one of the biggest gambling empires in Las Vegas tends to result in a lot of finger-pointing.

Here is the full article.

Thoughts? Anyone here close to the situation and can shed some more light on what's going on?

By someone close to the situation are you implying that you would like people to flagrantly disregard their ethical and legal responsibility to non-disclosure to post about this on a forum for 19 year old wankers trying to get a job in investment banking?

Chill out. I think he's probably just asking those who've done work on it (don't have to breach confi to talk about a public co.) to share their high level views - no one is asking for transcripts of meetings.

What would you like to know exactly? At a very high level, this is a fight between giants that is going to take place in the weeds of bankruptcy code (removing parent guarantees from operating company's senior notes..things of that like). One side wants to file for bankruptcy and salvage the investment to extract whatever returns they can from it, while another side opposes. Lawyers are fighting over this case of "involuntary bankruptcy". Junior bond holders are against the restructuring plan in place because they will get paid a lot less than the holders of first-lien bonds. To my knowledge (and I may be wrong), the first-lien bond holders are the only ones that support the restructuring plan.
