Theories of Recovery: These tranfer avoidance actions are unique in their use against trade creditors of a Section 548 Fraudulent Transfer count; and two counts under the Delaware Fraudulent Transfer Act Sections 1304, 1305, 1307 and 1308 using the bootstrap provision of Bankruptcy Code Section 544. These fraudulent transfer counts are based on a factually bare assertion that "The Debtors received less than reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the Fraudulent Transfers." While the counts based on fraudulent transfers are difficult to win against unaffiliated trade creditors (who likely provided reasonably equivalent value for the payments received), the inclusion of these counts can run up the cost of defense.
