While achieving success as a major league catcher, Mike Matheny was preparing for a post-baseball career in real estate development. He could not have picked a worse time to pursue his aspiration. Matheny lost his accumulated savings and his family’s home after being held personally liable for a $4.2 million deficiency judgment following foreclosure of property he was unable to develop or market during the Great Recession. Matheny’s failure to succeed in real estate was the proximate cause of his return to baseball as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals.

Why Banks Are Not Allowed In Bankruptcy, Richard M. Hynes, Steven D. Walt
Washington and Lee Law Review
Unlike most other countries, the United States uses different Procedures to resolve insolvent banks and nonbank firms.

Scholarly Articles

My purpose is to talk about the 2005 Amendments and how things are going with the new provisions. But where do you start, with a bad law? We could start with the enactment process, but that's old news now. And besides,you've already heard the line: "Some members of Congress could not be bought; for everyone else there was MasterCard." We could talk about the policy choices, and the 2005 Amendments clearly represent a shift in that respect--perhaps in the category of "seismic" or "cataclysmic."
