Equinox Payments – Preference Actions Filed

Introduction

Charles A. Stanziale, Jr., is on a roll, filing preference actions in a number of cases within the Delaware Bankruptcy Court this month.  As the Chapter 7 Trustee (the "Trustee") for the bankruptcy estate of EP Liquidation, LLC f/k/a Equinox Payments, LLC (the "Debtor"), he filed approximately 37 complaints to recover what he contends are assets of the Debtor's estate.  These actions are made up of preference actions, fraudulent transfer and asset turnover cases.  The Trustee filed these actions in the Delaware Bankruptcy Court and argued that the defendants hold assets belonging to the Debtor and that the payments received by various defendants are avoidable and subject to recovery under 11 U.S.C. § 547 and 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. This post will briefly cover the Debtor's bankruptcy proceedings.
