Rebel Creamery Enters Chapter 11 Amid Van Leeuwen Packaging Dispute

Rebel Creamery filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy amid a trade-dress dispute with rival Van Leeuwen, which claims nearly $24 million in profits from Rebel.

Van Leeuwen had sought around $36 million, later reduced to just under $24 million.

Dish Network Begins Chapter 11 Through Pre-Packaged Turnaround

Dish DBS, the satellite-TV operator now a unit of EchoStar, filed for Chapter 11 in Houston in a pre-packaged restructuring backed by about 88% of its bondholders. EchoStar says the move won't affect brands, customers, or operations and expects Dish to emerge from bankruptcy in the July–September quarter. The filing follows heavy debt (roughly $25 billion) and delays around a $20 billion spectrum sale to AT&T that helped trigger the process, as Dish continues its pivot toward wireless amid regulatory spectrum concerns.

Dish DBS Enters Chapter 11, Winds Down Dish Wireless in Prepackaged Restructuring

Dish DBS Corp and affiliates filed Chapter 11 in Texas under a prepackaged restructuring, winding down the Dish Wireless unit while Echostar and other operations (Boost Mobile, Gen Mobile, Hughes, Dish Network and Sling TV) continue normally; the plan, backed by most noteholders, aims to accelerate debt repayment and give Echostar greater flexibility after the previously announced spectrum sale to AT&T/SpaceX, which remains unsettled. The wireless shutdown is tied to an FCC escrow of about $2.4 billion to address claims, with creditors' claims handled through the bankruptcy process, and Dish targeting emergence by the end of Q3.

Camp Mystic seeks Chapter 11 protection as flood-related lawsuits loom

Camp Mystic, the Texas camp linked to the Guadalupe River flood that killed 28 people (25 campers, 2 counselors, and the owner), filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern District of Texas. The move triggers an automatic stay on lawsuits while a reorganization proceeds, with claims likely to be resolved through a bankruptcy trust funded by insurance and camp assets. The case involves more than $10 million in debt from 1,000–5,000 creditors, with assets ranging from $1 million to $10 million (and varying assets for related entities). The camp remains closed and is under state investigations, complicating any chance of a quick reopening and potentially delaying ongoing litigation for families seeking justice.

Camp Mystic files Chapter 11 after deadly Texas floods

Camp Mystic, an all‑girls Christian summer camp in Texas Hill Country, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, reporting debts of $10–$50 million and assets of $1–$10 million, nearly a year after catastrophic floods killed 28 camp linked residents and at least 136 people region‑wide. The filing follows a state investigation faulting the camp’s emergency planning and evacuations; the camp had already withdrawn its plan to reopen after a heated legislative hearing. Families of victims are pursuing damages beyond $1 million, and the bankruptcy process could pause those suits and route them into the court system. Co‑owner Richard Eastland died in the floods, and camper Cecilia Steward remains missing.
