Acrisure LLC v. Wright Brothers Aircraft Title - Motion to Abstain Ruling

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Oklahoma issued a memorandum opinion and order addressing Loss Payees' First Amended Motion for Abstention in adversary proceeding Adv. No. 24-1008-JDL, filed by Acrisure LLC against Wright Brothers Aircraft Title, Inc. and 19 named Depositor/Loss Payee defendants in connection with the Chapter 7 bankruptcy of Wright Brothers Aircraft Title. The underlying case involves a multi-hundred-million-dollar Ponzi scheme and drug trafficking enterprise operated by debtor Wright Brothers Aircraft Title and its principals between 2016 and 2020, and the court analyzed whether discretionary abstention under 28 U.S.C. § 1334(c)(1) applies to claims by non-debtor depositors against an insurance broker regarding crime policies issued by Lloyd's of London. The outcome of the abstention motion determines whether the Florida state court litigation between Depositors and Acrisure LLC proceeds, or whether the bankruptcy court retains jurisdiction over the insurance coverage dispute.

Bankruptcy Court Dismisses Defamation Counterclaim, March 20

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Oklahoma granted Kori Henderson's Amended Motion to Dismiss the defamation counterclaim filed by Defendant Nikia Nicole Patterson. The Court held that bankruptcy courts lack jurisdiction over defamation claims, which are considered personal injury torts excluded under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(5), and even if jurisdiction could attach through consent under Stern v. Marshall, the counterclaim failed to state a viable claim for defamation damages.

Bradley Rund and Jennifer Rund v. Legacy Bank - Debt Non-Dischargeable in Part

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Oklahoma ruled on January 16, 2026, that Legacy Bank met its burden of proof under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(2)(B) to establish that Loan #1 owed by Defendant Bradley Rund is non-dischargeable. The court found that Rund submitted a materially false Uniform Residential Loan Application on January 12, 2022, failing to disclose the Ford Motor Credit Corporation judgment and Oklahoma Tax Commission debts. The Court further ruled that Loan #2 is discharged. This adversary proceeding (Adv. No. 25-1019-JDL) arose from the Debtors' Chapter 7 case (Case No. 24-13385-JDL).
