ABI Live Webinars, 2016

CO-HOSTED BY ABI AND THE THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FEDERAL EQUITY RECEIVERS
Ponzi scheme cases almost always have a hard landing in either a bankruptcy or receivership proceeding. Depending on which administrative filter is imposed on a Ponzi scheme case, the rights of the fiduciary administering the case as well as the rights of creditors and investors can vary significantly.

The webinar will discuss various rules and orders governing the process of mediation in bankruptcy, focusing on Ch.5 causes of action. The webinar also explores time tested strategies for resolving avoidance actions at the mediation.

This webinar will focus on how pending criminal or regulatory proceedings may affect the estate’s pursuit of litigation claims arising from a commercial fraud case. Speakers will address the Fifth Amendment, coordinating with the criminal and regulatory authorities for items such as file-access requests to the SEC, potential stays of civil litigation, asset forfeitures, and more! This panel not only includes attorneys who have dealt with these issues, but also attorneys who previously worked for the U.S. Attorney’s Office or the SEC.

HOSTED BY THE ASSET SALES COMMITTEE
