38 Studios starts liquidation

PROVIDENCE – Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling’s defunct videogame company 38 Studios LLC begins liquidation Tuesday, news sources report.
The bankruptcy court hearing, which will take place in Wilmington, Del., where the company is incorporated, is slated to begin at 2 p.m. today.
According to court documents, 38 Studios and its subsidiaries owe more than $150 million to more than 1,000 creditors, the largest of which is the R.I. Economic Development Corporation.
The gaming company listed a collection of assets to offset tens of millions in debt. The collection included intellectual property associated with its massively multiplayer online fantasy game – “Project Copernicus” – and mortgages the company took on to relocate employees.
Monday, on the eve of the company’s bankruptcy court hearing, a trailer for the “Project Copernicus” game was leaked on the Internet.
According to Boston Business Journal, the IP related to “Copernicus” is the biggest question mark in the bankruptcy proceedings, “It could be worthless, or it could help recoup funds for Rhode Island taxpayers, on the hook for more than $50 million in government-backed loans to the company.”

It was just announced that RI ranks dead last of all 50 states for doing business....for the 2nd year in a row. Keep electing the same clowns to the general assembly and you'll keep getting the same results. See the results on CNBC.com. Shameful.
