Thank you again for your response. I really like that appeal to Beezley
idea.
I could see two ways though for insolvency to occur despite the Trustee's
best effort. First, it's the Chapter 11 from hell that's converted to
Chapter 7. Attorney fees of Chapter 11 counsel could exceed value of
estate.
The other is when the Trustee goes after a fraudulent transfer believing
he/she can win. After losing, his attorney fees exceed value of assets.
There was also that one case in the east coast where the debtor was found
to be a vexatious litigant and basically got in the way of the Trustee so
much that she lost standing because she cost the estate so much money!

Michael Avanesian
