SCO Asks That Friday's Bankruptcy Hearing on York Payment Be Postponed

By Pamela Jones et al.

ADVERTISEMENTS

Surprise, surprise. SCO has asked that Friday's hearing on the York payment motion be held over until the May 15th omnibus hearing. You can see that on the Notice of Agenda [PDF] just filed. So, don't show up without verifying what is happening. Also, if anyone is able to attend any of the SCO v. Novell trial starting on April 29, please let me know. It looks like neither Webster nor Chris can go this time, so email me if you've been thinking about this.

And there's another filing, another bill [PDF] from Berger Singerman. This bill is for $245,123.70 and that's just for the month of March, and if you look at the breakdown in Exhibit A [PDF], a lot of it ($101,452) is for "Asset Preservation/Distribution", which that month I assume to be the now-defunct deal with Stephen Norris. As a contrast, the bill for "Case Administration" is just $931. They are morphing the plan into something else, an asset purchase supposedly, and meanwhile SCO's attorney Arthur Spector acknowledged at the hearing that there were problems with the plan being filed "piecemeal". He even promised it would never happen again.

So, why would they get paid in full for filing unfinished deals that never got airborne and that anyone would have to know would never get off the runway?
