    It would probably be worth it to him. But he would never do it. If any kind of payment comes to them besides the coal company it would be the taxpayers stuck with the bill. Maybe Congress should act?

    Blackjewel LLC filed for bankruptcy July 1 owing $6 million to its 1,700 workers in Wyoming and Central Appalachia, including more than $4,000 in unpaid wages to Kentucky coal miner Chris Rowe in Cumberland.

    Blackjewel also owed $32 million in loans to Riverstone Holdings, an international investment firm that manages $39 billion in capital.

    Guess who is likely to get paid in coming weeks.

    Riverstone is listed in bankruptcy court filings as the “super-priority senior secured debtor-in-possession,” with a lien on Blackjewel assets currently being sold for millions of dollars. It was Riverstone that wrote that contractual description of itself when it made its first $28 million loan to Blackjewel two years ago, putting it at the top of the heap today, according to court filings.

    Riverstone enjoyed such a strong position that when it made a second loan to Blackjewel for $5 million, two days after the July 1 bankruptcy filing, it was able to demand the resignation of Blackjewel chief executive Jeff Hoops and all members of Hoops’ family. (Hoops has blamed Riverstone for forcing his company into bankruptcy by refusing to extend repayment terms for the 2017 loan.)

    “It looks like Riverstone should emerge from this virtually unscathed,” said Clark Williams-Derry, an energy industry finance analyst for the Sightline Institute in Seattle.

    “As for everyone else — the bottom line is, the workers, the vendors, the government agencies, all of the other creditors that are still owed millions, they’ll be left at the end of the line fighting for scraps,” Williams-Derry said. “The American bankruptcy system right now favors the financiers. That’s just the way our laws are written.”"

    Unlike miners, this lender to emerge from Blackjewel bankruptcy ‘virtually unscathed’

    The coal company has compassion - for the big money investors, not the miners.

    "As angry coal miners continued to block a set of railroad tracks in Harlan County Friday, the miners’ former employer, Blackjewel LLC., sought a court order to let a disputed coal train pass through the blockade.

    Sad story, hopefully they get paid....... This is the kinda misery that is caused & the rip-offs that occur when a company does a "strategic" filing like that..

    Left wing propaganda did not work in 2016...what makes you assume anything has changed in the new world of instant communication where the propaganda can be debunked as soon as it appears? The mainstream media......the propaganda wing of the DNC, no longer controls with a monopoly the talking points. Research and instant messaging is just a mouse click away. The DINO days of the BIG 3 are over, forever EXTINCT. The talking heads like "CRONKITE" can no longer dictate state policy simply by presenting their one sided opinions.

    The Vietnam War is the only war in history where the US never lost a single battle they engaged....but lost the war effort due to media interference. If the CRONKITES of the world had been allowed free reign in WW2......after the 1st day of media reporting at Normandy.....the US would have withdrawn and we the people would be speaking English as a second language right now...with Deutsch/German being the primary state language.
    Stop rattling your yap & just say if you are w/ trump's miners or the coal company........

    Yeah, he could run the debt up even higher bailing them out like he had to bail out American soybean farms impacted by his completely unnecessary trade war.

    That's just myth-clinging. Everybody wishes it was a fraud or a trick or a hoax. That would be so awesome if it was just some big trick. It's not. It's real. More and more people are getting it. Sooner or later you will too. The best thing that could happen to that coal would be to dump it back into the mine and seal it up.

    If it were real why would Michael Mann refuse (yet again) to release his data ? Its going to cost him considerably more than just losing face. He got tagged for the defendant's legal fees and a counter suit is being prepared now.

    I know nothing about that case so I am not in a position to argue about it. I trust the major media to break the story if there is anything significant to it. What I do understand is that the best place for that trainload of coal would be back in the ground.
