GT Advanced Wants to Keep Issues With Apple Secret

GT Advanced Technologies , the sapphire supplier that filed for bankruptcy protection Monday, wants to keep what went wrong between it and Apple Inc. behind closed doors.

Why?

According to GT, there’s a risk it will have to pay $50 million damages “under certain confidentiality agreements involving a third party, which agreements themselves are required to be kept confidential.”

It was filed in the early morning hours Thursday, as GT Advanced prepares for its first appearance before a judge in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New Hampshire.
