There was a motion made on an emergency basis to adjourn the hearing on S&C's retention on account of the recently-filed Friedberg declaration.
Bromley for S&C says it's @SBF_FTX pulling the strings! Sorry, what?!
As predicted, Dorsey rules against the emergency motion to adjourn and we're going forward with a hearing on the Debtors' application for the retention of S&C.
I guess *predicted,* because that was just me to me prior to my head hitting the pillow earlier this morning.
I won't say much but I'll say this: if you want to make a move like this, you have to make it 100% properly.
Here, while incendiary, the dec was too little too late.
S&C moving along through their reasons why they should be retained. It's what you'd expect.
Now counsel for Warren Winter, first up, objecting to the retention...
I'll spare you guys the boring details. There's these cases, but they're not precedent in the 3d cir. Also, distinct facts.
Long story short, I think we're going to get a ruling for the Debtors.
Court's in a 30 min recess. Ruling once we're back.
I guess while we're in recess, check out a thing I wrote about the circumstances leading up to today...
The part about assertions of ownership is a weird one. It's not uncommon to share services across entities, but typically there'd be an SLA or SSA in place to dictate the terms, reimbursements, etc. Safe bet that that doesn't exist here.
