I'd bet you are right on that one Jim. I suspect that this whole bankruptcy thing is a ploy for First Reserve (the private equity firm with majority ownership in GenPower) and Laurita to walk away from their debt with Siemens and others. We'll probably never know the real details here...

I noticed that neither GenPower, nor Laurita, the actual owners of Longview and MepCo, are listed as debtors.  Could the be trying to insulate themselves from any responsibility for this mess?  Duh!
