Re: Dorian is back??

It hardly matters who I am, just as it really does not matter who you
are. I cannot imagine what a guy from the ancien regime of Philips
would be doing, business-wise, with the Dorian folks, so it is hard to
understand what your BUSINESS dealings were with them. Even still, your
"credentials" do not make you any more qualified to opine on this
matter than my anonymity does. I am just resting on the facts as they
have been presented in many venues. You are perfectly correct that,
during a bankruptcy, lots of emotions come to the fore and people do
strive to protect their interests. It is also the case that lots of the
dirty laundry is revealed in such cases; and those cases, since they
are tried in the public domain, are relatively easy to follow. The
minute details are also relatively easy to follow if you have access to
the PACER system (which every lawyer has). Every journalist in Albany
appeared to have such access as well, but the numerous complaints and
filings were too voluminous to recite chapter and verse in every
article.

I still do not follow the logic that Dory and Levine were at the mercy
of "cut-throats." They did not pay their bills or wages (except to
themselves), and then spent the better part of two years blaming
everyone and everything except themselves. It strikes me as nearly
incredible that you would feel sympathy for people who would fight to
use the Reference assets to pay off their old debts, when they never
paid Reference a dime and sold probably thousands of Reference discs
during their ill-fated merger for their own benefit.

If the buck stops with Skilling and Lay, then the buck stops with Dory
and Levine as well. They were solely responsible for the demise of
their label through mismanagement, multiple breaches of contract, and
unkept promises to hordes of well-intentioned people. The question of
"harmful intent" (via civil lawsuits) will never be adequately settled
(unlike with Skilling and Lay) because they were lucky enough to
qualify for personal bankruptcy and shield themselves from any civil
litigation.
