PETITION

Last week we complained about a dearth of bankruptcy filings. This week we got a handful of cases: two retail, one healthcare, one oil-and-gas servicer, and two "tech" companies. Because this week's case summaries (see below) are longer than usual, we'll rest on those laurels in lieu of a substantive feature (you can find the summaries here: Answers Holdings Inc., California Proton Treatment Center, Vanity Shop of Grand Forks Inc., BCBG Max Azaria Global Holdings LLC, EMAS Chiyoda Subsea Limited, Lily Robotics Inc.). Gotta keep things tight, time-wise, you know? Trying to keep the time you're billing clients to read our kicka$$ newsletter down to 0.1 hours.

That said, a few announcements:

1. Our readership is surging and we are proud of a ridonk newsletter open rate well above industry averages. If your colleagues and/or friends aren't getting our weekly curated insights, they're missing out.

In fact, if you're not encouraging your colleagues and friends to get our insights, YOU may be missing out. Last week we soft-launched our new ambassador program: if you get at least ten people to subscribe to our newsletter (have them insert your name into the "referred by" slot here), there may very well be exclusive events, data, content and not-useless gear in your future. So, fire away: you may find a surprise waiting for you in the office (and we don't mean a Friday night assignment).

2. We are open to feedback. Did we say something moronic? Tell us. Were we on point? Tell us. Have a hot tip? Email us.

3. We are also open for business. If your firm wants to advertise or promote its content, please let us know: we're getting tired of eating Ramen and could use an upgrade to the McDonald's dollar menu. Email us here to explore options. We are read by investors, advisors, bankers, lawyers and others who just generally love failure porn.
