NEW YORK AP – The names of a handful of Chrysler debt holders who oppose the automaker’s bankruptcy were disclosed Wednesday, but a number of others dropped their opposition, a week after President Barack Obama publicly chastised the group for not supporting his plan to help remake the company.
The names of the investment firms representing nine funds, disclosed in a court filing by the group’s lawyers, comes amid reports of death threats against the dissident creditors. They say they are being steamrolled in bankruptcy court because of their refusal to go along with a government-brokered deal that would have reduced the Chrysler’s secured debt.
