On July 6-7, 2017, Craig Jalbert, in his capacity as Trustee for F2 Liquidating Trust, filed approximately 187 complaints seeking the avoidance and recovery of allegedly preferential and/or fraudulent transfers under Sections 547, 548 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code (depending on the nature of the claims).  In certain instances, the Trustee also seeks to disallow claims of such defendants under Sections 502(d) and (j) of the Bankruptcy Code.

F-Squared Investment Management and its affiliated debtors filed voluntary petitions for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on July 8, 2015 under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.   The Court confirmed the Debtors’ Joint Plan of Liquidation.  The Liquidating Trust was established in accordance with the Plan and Confirmation Order.

The various avoidance actions are pending before the Honorable Laurie Selber Silverstein.  As of the date of this post, the pretrial conference has not yet been scheduled.
