In the Tuscany International Drilling bankruptcy action, filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, the United States Trustee recently filed a Statement that the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee Has Not Been Formed.  The Statement indicates that there was “insufficient response to the United States Trustee’s communications/contact for service on the committee.”

As discussed in the prior post, Tuscany International Drilling Inc., and its subsidiary, Tuscany International Holdings (U.S.A.) Ltd. (“Tuscany” or the “Debtors”) filed for bankruptcy on February 2, 2014 with the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.  On February 4, 2014, the Court held a “First Day” hearing to hear a number of preliminary motions filed by Tuscany.

At approximately 10:15 this morning, Judge Walrath of the Delaware Bankruptcy Court made an oral ruling confirming Washington Mutual's chapter 11 plan of reorganization.

Over the last three and one-half years, hundreds of attorneys and other professionals have worked thousands of hours in an effort to help WAMU obtain a measure of relief from its debts so that it could emerge from bankruptcy protection with the ability to continue to operate.  What has emerged from the process is a smaller, leaner company with a greatly reduced debt load.
