Bankruptcy

Lubben Is Around to Stay

By Bob Lawless

On behalf of all the regular Credit Slips bloggers, it is a pleasure to announce that Professor Stephen Lubben is joining us as a regular blogger. In associating himself with us, we are pretty sure that Lubben has thereby flunked the Groucho Marx Test. One of the other regulars wanted to convince Lubben there was some sort of equity buy-in on a small blog that features no advertising. It is best that person remain anonymous given our many posts about various forms of financial scams. Stephen, you and I instead will need to talk about the $20 blog posting fee that needs to be sent to me after each post.

As regular readers know, Lubben has been guest blogging for the past several weeks and has been focusing on the Chrysler and GM bankruptcies. Lubben's focus on corporate bankruptcy substantially adds to our existing expertise in that area. If you're not familiar with Lubben's academic work, take a gander at his SSRN page. Among his many interesting articles are a number of pieces on credit default swaps, a topic on which Lubben was writing before they got into the news.

Welcome aboard, Stephen.
