Opis

Canary in the Court exposes the illicit collusion between the bankruptcy bench and bar to bilk creditors out of millions of dollars in attorney fees. The author was incarcerated for contempt of court for challenging the Bankruptcy Court's authority to pay estate counsel $1.25 mil. in attorney fees to sell a $10 mil. asset which only fetched $2.5 mil. at a bankruptcy sale to the Debtor's largest investor. As a condition of the sale the Court enjoin creditors from suing the buyer to recover claims owed by the Debtor. The Court went on to enjoin the author from enforcing his royalty contract for the sale of his software source code and trademarks to the pre-petition Debtor. Canary in the Court covers Robert White's life in business, bankruptcy court, prison, and back on the Cimarron River developing his homestead.
