It was Wayne&#8217;s own testimony (p. 23) that sunk the case as he ultimately admitted the primary purpose was to gain a litigation advantage against the NY Attorney General by taking dissolution off the table using bankruptcy. Once it was found that the primary purpose was a litigation advantage, it was the bankruptcy had to be considered in bad faith. The alternative to dismissal was an examiner or trustee but Judge Hale said the strong financial condition plus the new safeguards mitigated against the appointment of either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think one of the key paragraphs in the whole decision was this one on page 34:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>What concerns the Court most though is the surreptitious manner in which Mr. LaPierre<br>obtained and exercised authority to file bankruptcy for the NRA.
