A Brazilian affiliate has secured a chapter judgment towards TelexFree.
What does that imply?
…I’m unsure.
A TelexFree affiliate claims the corporate owes them $50,000. That prompted a lawsuit, which culminated in a chapter order on Monday.
Based on the ruling, the corporate confirmed the quantity due, stated it was unable to pay the debt and didn’t oppose the request.
Based mostly on the order itself, it seems the above state of affairs triggers a chapter judgement and proceedings.
The order is prolonged and troublesome to comply with (auto-translate), however an accompanying Globo report breaks it down.
Within the determination was appointed a judicial administrator – an organization within the state of São Paulo – who will acquire the belongings and paperwork associated to the corporate.
This sounds just like the Brazilian equal of the US Trustee.
Telexfree’s managing companions should current the nominal record of collectors.
The choose additionally ordered the suspension of all actions or executions towards the corporate, with some reservations offered by regulation, along with the sealing of the corporate, even when she has already closed its actions.
As well as, the Justice of the Peace factors out that any proof of crime dedicated by the companions may end in pre-trial detention.
Globo notes TelexFree owes greater than R$2 billion to collectors. With parallel US proceedings and seized belongings, what impression this Brazilian ruling may have is unclear.
Attempting to comply with TelexFree proceedings in Brazil is supremely complicated.

Each few months (generally as much as a 12 months at a stretch) we’ll get some information, that seemingly contradicts or is unrelated to earlier protection.
Earlier protection is uncommon to replace. So what we’re left with is disjointed developments for a singular firm that collectively appear unrelated.
