US Trustee Asks To Send SCO Into Chapter 7

Several readers including Pop69 inform us that the US Trustee's office has asked to convert SCO's Chapter 11 bankruptcy to Chapter 7 — a.k.a. liquidation. Groklaw has the text of the filing: "...not only is there no reasonable chance of 'rehabilitation' in these cases, the Debtors have tried — and failed — to liquidate their business in chapter 11."

    That's the fat lady clearing her throat.

    Strangely enough, now I want to hear from Enderle and D'Idiot. I want to hear them whine about the unfainess of it all, how these saints were ridden out of town on a rail when their cause was just. I want to hear them tell the tale of the briefcase with millions of lines of copied code was pilfered from SCO's case in the thick of night.

    And then I want them to vanish into ignominy.

    They'll probably have to drive a stake through the corporate charter to make SCO stay dead.

    Today's top story: In a bid to stave off bankruptcy, SCO Inc. has decided to sue everyone. That's right, everyone. SCO spokesman Seth Tuller says that 'everyone' will be served with court papers during lunch-time tomorrow. Tuller is quoting as saying, "Everyone owes us money, and everyone must pay." Stockholders are up in arms over this last minute bid to serve the entire world with a reverse class-action lawsuit, saying that the estimated $100 billion cost of doing so is just the latest in a long line of terrible decisions by company management.

    I'd bid on sco.com,for sure!!! I'd pay like $3 to use it for my future site devoted to South Carolina otters. That is, if I can get a loan, since funding has been hard to secure for this project, for some reason. Maybe I'll try to figure out who invested in SCO in recent years and hit them up.

    The wicked witch may not be dead yet, but she has pneumonia, gangrene, a wicked case of uncontrolled syphilis, and a lazy eye. And H1N1 influenza. And no health insurance or VA benefits. Medicare has its limits. And her good eye is infected from pickin' at it...

    ...but I think she's more like the Annoying Witch really, as she was too inefective and irrelevant to ever really be all that wicked.

    But be honest, you KNOW this hand comes, don't you? I mean, how many zombie movies have you seen? You're actually pissed when it doesn't come. It's like sex without an orgasm when you're sitting there, the hero has his love interest in his arms and that fuckin' zombie stays just DEAD. "C'mon! Move!", you scream at the screen, "how can you let him get away with this without a last, feeble attempt to claw at him!"

    I'd feel cheated if zombie Darl didn't at least try to move and lift four fingers to make that chapter 7 an 11 again.

    I feel there's a 7-Eleven joke in there somewhere, if someone finds it, please inform me. Thanks.

    What makes you think we want even the remotest association with SCOm? Our river otters are fine, pure and noble beasts, not scum-sucking bottom feeders, as they would be inferred to be by the use of that domain in such a manner.

    Perhaps your efforts would be better spent studying the relationship between Sporocarp and Chipmunks in Oregon.
