You might be surprised to discover that federal judges are extremely not shy about bringing up threats to their safety that involve litigants before them.
Wasn't there some famous case in NY where a business man had to be sanctioned ~10 times before he stopped trying to get death threats against the judges family?
I don't really doubt that judges would bring something up to litigants but I do really doubt the bar would actually do something.
The Onion should be investigated for making a false bid for which they never had the money for.
>Jones' attorney Ben Broocks told Lopez at a hearing on Monday that the Onion only put up half as much cash as the $3.5 million offer from First American United Companies but boosted its bid with "smoke and mirrors" calculations.
Yes and Lopez rejected that as an issue. He also accepted the logic of why the Trustee picked the onion.
What Lopez did not like was the dollar amount and how the auction was ran, that's it.
Lopez kept the Trustee on board, though, because he doesn't believe the Trustee did anything wrong (Strangely since the Trustee organized the auction).
It wasn't a false bid, it was a bid that would have relieved Jones of more debt than the bid FAUC put up. Which was accepted by his creditors.
