Pachulski Stang's 8th Bankruptcy Bill - "401(k) audit"? - Updated

By Pamela Jones et al.

Let's not forget Pachulski Stang. They have an 8th bill filed now, their bill for April, and they'd like their money too. This bill is for $12,000.50 and expenses in the amount of $1,366.60 for expenses. The balance brought forward is $30,995.13, with a "total balance now due" in the amount of $44,362.23.

$2,183 is for preparing bills to submit for SCO to pay. Now, that's a great gig. You charge for billing. It isn't just this firm, of course. Bankruptcy court lets you do that. It just always makes me smile, that when you are bankrupt, a law firm can bill you for billing you. I notice the bill misspells Ryan Tibbitts' first name, but they'd have to charge to fix it, I guess, so let's not tell them.

This firm seems to be the one that coordinates some things for all the firms. I can't help but notice that they charged only $233.50 for work on a reorganization plan and disclosure statement in April. When you consider April and what some of the other firms charged, that's almost nothing. In contrast they charged $574 for work on "the Tanner retention matter". What is that?
