Gbogo,
I don't no where your qaulitfications come from, but your statement where they would pay the US account holders first is crazy. The banks, and any other money they owe always comes before customers. Any bankrupcy judge will favor the debt first before customers. I can tell you that NO ONE will get paid if the US suceeds in blocking BOS. At that point the owners will care about one thing and only one thing and that is their ass. He will screw over everyone. Also I really doubt BOS will get control of their money again. If DOJ is saying that BOS was built illegally they will freeze all of their money and if they don't UK may get involved and freeze the companies finances. Everybody that has money in their better pray they don't have a lot of debt as that money will go first and then IF anything is left they will go to players. Also I read somewhere the US was trying to collect something crazy like 3billion from him. Which if true can assure everyone is screwed. Trust me the Govt will take their money first.
Ofcourse if BOS does get a temporary stay I have to think things look bleak. I know alot of sportsbook have float problems this point of the year and they may not be able to cover the 1000's off accounts that will withdraw the second they open.
Also if they file chapter 11 then forget about it as no bankruptcy judge will pay customers before they pay debt obligations. Them being a public company,i got to imagine they owe money up their ass, as they have probally borrowed against their stock value. Hell I can't imagine they had so much spare cash sitting around to buy all these sportsbook. Sort of like how in the US companies start eating up companies because they have over valued stock.
Everybody forget Enron and worldcom. Who got screwed? The average joe. Atleast somebank were able sell their assets and try to recover something. Last time I remembered no judge gave any employee the right to sell used furniture from their office.
