Here are the latest bankruptcy news highlights I found recently:
-
Infowars-related bankruptcy developments: A Texas federal judge ruled that Alex Jones cannot appeal the bankruptcy order affecting Free Speech Systems LLC’s assets, which keeps the multi-billion dollar Sandy Hook judgments in play for asset collection. This is a high-profile case touching a major media operator and ongoing litigation from victims’ families.[1]
-
Eddie Bauer files Chapter 11: Eddie Bauer LLC announced voluntary Chapter 11 cases in the District of New Jersey with lenders support, aiming to restructure through an RSA and pursue a path to exit financing and reorganization. This is part of a broader retail sector restructuring trend in 2026.[4]
-
Spanish Broadcasting System Chapter 11: Spanish Broadcasting System Inc. filed for Chapter 11 in Delaware with a plan to deleverage via a debt-swap, moving control to noteholders and trimming substantial debt.[3]
-
Conscious Content Media nearing Chapter 11 confirmation: An education tech company, Conscious Content Media, was nearing confirmation of its Chapter 11 plan in Delaware, contingent on exit financing arrangements of about $20 million.[3]
-
Broader bankruptcy filings and updates: Ongoing coverage includes law firms and media outlets tracking multiple Chapter 11 cases, plan confirmations, and strategic negotiations in various industries (media, retail, tech) as of May 2026.[6][3]
If you’d like, I can pull the most current stories from a specific outlet (e.g., Law360, Reuters, CBS News) or summarize the key cases by sector (retail, media, tech) with quick bullet points and timelines. I can also set up a quick daily digest if you want ongoing updates.
Would you prefer a sector-focused briefing (retail, media, tech) or a venue-focused briefing (court filings, plan confirmations, debt restructurings) with sources?
