Webinar: What’s In Your Wallet? – Crypto in the Bankruptcy Courts
Reorganization under bankruptcy Chapter 11 is presently the only U.S. legal regime to resolve the failures of cryptocurrency platforms.  Among the high-profile crypto Chapter 11 cases in the last two years were Celsius and BlockFi.  To sort out unprecedented issues in those cases over the ownership of custodial and depository customers’ accounts, bankruptcy courts played unique roles in the unregulated and largely uninsured space of crypto exchanges.  This program’s panel will feature the insights of battle-tested legal counsel in those cases, as well as a discussion of new crypto risks that may find themselves in the bankruptcy courts. Participants will learn how to properly advise their clients of the risks in holding digital assets.

Free Webinar: Purdue Pharma: The U.S. Supreme Court’s Opinion and Its Ramifications
On June 27, 2024, in a 5-4 decision in Harrington v. Purdue Pharma L.P., the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Bankruptcy Code “does not authorize a release and injunction that, as part of a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11, effectively seeks to discharge claims against a nondebtor without the consent of affected claimants.” The Supreme Court thereby rejected the cornerstone of a chapter 11 plan and nationwide mass tort settlement, allegedly worth about $10 billion, involving OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma and members of the Sackler family. This was the most significant bankruptcy decision in decades. The Purdue Pharma case delineates the outer boundaries of the Bankruptcy Code as a solution to mass tort litigation and the so-called collective action problem. Although the decision prohibits nonconsensual third-party releases in a chapter 11 plan, several types of non-debtor releases remain available after Purdue Pharma. The majority and dissenting opinions both have significant implications for bankruptcy law and legal advocacy in pending and future proceedings.
