As the publisher's set to run out of money by June, various creditors are in court fighting over the company's remaining assets and, in the process, Judge Gross is reviewing the somewhat dubious sale of Midway to the aforementioned Mark Thomas. To help put the court proceedings into perspective, we contacted Joystiq Law of the Game writer (and total lawyer) Mark Methenitis, who said, "The Midway sale circumstances are the type of facts that often make a court suspicious. Even though NAI's business justification of the sale does seemingly make sense, the sale of a company that size with debts that large for a net amount so small is suspicious to say the least."
There's only a few months left until June so we're sure to see the results of this bankruptcy case play out in no time at all. Here's hoping the one profitable team at Midway can save themselves before the whole ship sinks.
