The liquidating trustee in the (former) BearingPoint bankruptcy, John DeGroote Services, has survived motions to dismiss the $1.88 billion civil suit for fiduciary irresponsibility. The suit was filed against the firm's then-CEO, Edwin Harbach, and 8 members of BearingPoint's board of directors at the time. The suits are filed against them personally, since they allegedly acted in bad faith and breached their fiduciary duties, eliminating liability exclusions that would have been covered by insurance or BearingPoint governance policies limiting liability. The breaches alleged by DeGroote forced BearingPoint's shareholders and creditors to file bankruptcy in February 2009, later liquidating for just $396 million in net proceeds, when the company had an aggregate value of $2.3 billion 19 months before. A former CFO that left after just 3 weeks on the job offers telling perspective on the alleged misconduct. Research Note includes case details and offers rejected from competitors and priv...More
