STANFORD INT'L: SIPC to Defend Itself Against SEC Lawsuit
---------------------------------------------------------
The Securities Investor Protection Corporation said it will defend
itself against a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit
over claims of investor losses related to the Antigua-based
Stanford International Bank Limited fraud case.

"We have great sympathy for the victims of this extraordinary
Ponzi scheme that inflicted heartbreaking losses on thousands of
people across the world," said Orlan M. Johnson, chairman of the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation.  "But, SIPC must
adhere to the requirements established by Congress.  After careful
and exacting analysis, we believe the SEC's theory in this case
conflicts with the Securities Investor Protection Act, the law
that created SIPC and has guided it for the last 40 years."

The SEC is taking the unprecedented position that SIPC must
provide financial guarantees for investors who chose to purchase
CDs issued by an offshore bank in Antigua.  If accepted, that
position would rewrite SIPC's 40-year mandate under the law.  SIPC
is limited by law to protecting customers against the loss of
missing cash or securities in the custody of failing or insolvent
SIPC member brokerage firms.  SIPC was not chartered by Congress
to combat misrepresentation or fraud or guarantee an investment's
value.

"SIPC is not the equivalent of the FDIC for investment fraud,"
said Stephen P. Harbeck, president of the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation.  "Congress considered whether to guarantee
investment losses and rejected that sort of protection as
unrealistic and inappropriate."

Mr. Harbeck said that it is not legally possible for SIPC to
provide financial guarantees for these victims, whose claims are
about CDs issued by the Stanford International Bank.  "If
accepted, the SEC's unprecedented position would have serious and
far-reaching consequences.  The SEC is demanding protection for
what we believe to be ineligible claims under the Securities
Investor Protection Act.  Expanding the protection in that way
would ignore SIPC's statutory mandate, would vastly exceed SIPC's
Fund, and would jeopardize the availability of the Fund for the
legitimate purposes for which it was created."

Although SIPC has not had an opportunity to review the lawsuit,
Mr. Harbeck described the matter as a disagreement about whether
the Securities Investor Protection Act applies to the unique facts
of the Stanford Antiguan bank fraud.

"Given the diametrically opposed positions of the SEC and SIPC,
this matter is going to have to be resolved in the courts," Mr.
Harbeck said.  "The courts have a process in place for examining
both the facts and the law to test the SEC's position."

                             About SIPC

The Securities Investor Protection Corporation protects customers
against the loss of missing cash and/or securities in their
customer accounts when a SIPC member broker-dealer fails
financially.  SIPC either acts as a trustee or works with an
independent court-appointed trustee in a brokerage insolvency case
to recover funds.  The statute that created SIPC provides that
customers of a failed brokerage firm receive all non-negotiable
securities-such as stocks or bonds-that are already registered in
their names or in the process of being registered.  At the same
time, funds from the SIPC reserve are available to satisfy the
remaining claims for customer cash and/or securities custodies
with the broker for up to a maximum of US$500,000 per customer.
This figure includes a maximum of US$250,000 on claims for cash.

                  About Stanford International Bank

Domiciled in Antigua, Stanford International Bank Limited --
http://www.stanfordinternationalbank.com/-- is a member of
Stanford Private Wealth Management, a global financial services
network with US$51 billion in deposits and assets under management
or advisement.  Stanford Private Wealth Management serves more
than 70,000 clients in 140 countries.

On Feb. 16, 2009, the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of Texas, Dallas Division, signed an order appointing
Ralph Janvey as receiver for all the assets and records of
Stanford International Bank, Ltd., Stanford Group Company,
Stanford Capital Management, LLC, Robert Allen Stanford, James M.
Davis and Laura Pendergest-Holt and of all entities they own or
control.  The February 16 order, as amended March 12, 2009,
directs the Receiver to, among other things, take control and
possession of and to operate the Receivership Estate, and to
perform all acts necessary to conserve, hold, manage and preserve
the value of the Receivership Estate.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Feb. 17, 2009,
charged before the U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas, Mr.
Stanford and three of his companies for orchestrating a
fraudulent, multi-billion dollar investment scheme centering on a
US$8 billion Certificate of Deposit program.

A criminal case was also pursued against Mr. Stanford in June 2009
before the U.S. District Court in Houston, Texas.  Mr. Stanford
pleaded not guilty to 21 charges of multi-billion dollar fraud,
money-laundering and obstruction of justice.  Assistant Attorney
General Lanny Breuer, as cited by Agence France-Presse News, said
in a 57-page indictment that Mr. Stanford could face up to 250
years in prison if convicted on all charges.  Mr. Stanford
surrendered to U.S. authorities after a warrant was issued for his
arrest on the criminal charges.

The criminal case is U.S. v. Stanford, H-09-342 (S.D. Tex.).  The
civil case is SEC v. Stanford International Bank, 09-cv-00298
(N.D. Tex.).

FREESEAS INC: Receives Deficiency Letter from NASDAQ
----------------------------------------------------
FreeSeas Inc. has received a deficiency letter from NASDAQ stating
that, because the Company's common stock has not maintained a
minimum bid price of $1 per a share for the last 30 consecutive
business days, the Company is no longer in compliance with NASDAQ
Listing Rule Section 5450(a)(1).

In order to regain compliance, FreeSeas has until June 4, 2012 for
the closing bid price of its common stock to meet or exceed $1 for
a minimum of ten consecutive business days.  If FreeSeas has not
regained compliance by the expiration of the initial 180 calendar
days, NASDAQ will then provide written notification to the Company
that its common stock is subject to delisting.  If at any time
during this 180-day period the closing bid price is at least $1
for a minimum of 10 consecutive days, NASDAQ will provide written
confirmation of compliance and matter will be closed.

If FreeSeas does not regain compliance with the Rule during this
180-day period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180
calendar days to regain compliance if it meets all other initial
listing standards, with the exception of the bid price.  To
qualify for the second compliance period, FreeSeas must apply to
transfer its common stock to The NASDAQ Capital Market and provide
written notice to NASDAQ of its intent to cure this deficiency
during the second compliance period.

VITRO SAB: Judge Says Mexican Court Must Decide on US$1.35BB Debt
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Eric Hornbeck at Bankruptcy Law360 reports that a New York state
judge ruled Thursday that it was up to a Mexican court to decide
whether guaranties on US$1.35 billion in Vitro SAB de CV debt can
be altered.  Vitro is being restructured in Mexican court and
through a Chapter 15 proceeding in Texas bankruptcy court.  The
guarantors on the US$1.35 billion in Vitro notes, however, are
non-bankrupt affiliates of Vitro.

                         About Vitro SAB

Headquartered in Monterrey, Mexico, Vitro, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV:
VITROA; NYSE: VTO), through its two subsidiaries, Vitro Envases
Norteamerica, SA de C.V. and Vimexico, S.A. de C.V., is a global
glass producer, serving the construction and automotive glass
markets and glass containers needs of the food, beverage, wine,
liquor, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.

Vitro is the largest manufacturer of glass containers and flat
glass in Mexico, with consolidated net sales in 2009 of MXN23,991
million (US$1.837 billion).

Vitro defaulted on its debt in 2009, and sought to restructure
around US$1.5 billion in debt, including US$1.2 billion in notes.
Vitro launched an offer to buy back or swap US$1.2 billion in debt
from bondholders.  The tender offer would be consummated with a
bankruptcy filing in Mexico and Chapter 15 filing in the United
States.  Vitro said noteholders would recover as much as 73% by
exchanging existing debt for cash, new debt or convertible bonds.

          Concurso Mercantil & Chapter 15 Proceedings

Vitro SAB on Dec. 13, 2010, filed its voluntary petition for a
pre-packaged Concurso Plan in the Federal District Court for
Civil and Labor Matters for the State of Nuevo Leon, commencing
its voluntary concurso mercantil proceedings -- the Mexican
equivalent of a prepackaged Chapter 11 reorganization.  Vitro SAB
also commenced parallel proceedings under Chapter 15 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-16619) in Manhattan
on Dec. 13, 2010, to seek U.S. recognition and deference to its
bankruptcy proceedings in Mexico.

Early in January 2011, the Mexican Court dismissed the Concurso
Mercantil proceedings.  The judge said Vitro couldn't push through
a plan to buy back or swap US$1.2 billion in debt from bondholders
based on the vote of US$1.9 billion of intercompany debt when
third-party creditors were opposed.  Vitro as a result dismissed
the first Chapter 15 petition following the ruling by the Mexican
court.

On April 12, 2011, an appellate court in Mexico reinstated the
reorganization.  Accordingly, Vitro SAB on April 14 re-filed a
petition for recognition of its Mexican reorganization in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 11-
11754).

The Vitro parent told the Mexico stock exchange that it received
sufficient acceptances of its reorganization pending in a court in
Monterrey.  The approval vote was evidently obtained using claims
of affiliates.  The bondholders are opposing the Mexican
reorganization plan because shareholders could retain ownership
while bondholders aren't being paid in full.  Bondholders
previously cited an "independent analyst" who estimated the
Mexican plan was worth 49% to 54% of creditors'
claims.

In the present Chapter 15 case, the Debtor seeks to block any
creditor suits in the U.S. pending the reorganization in Mexico.

                     Chapter 11 Proceedings

A group of noteholders opposed the exchange -- namely Knighthead
Master Fund, L.P., Lord Abbett Bond-Debenture Fund, Inc.,
Davidson Kempner Distressed Opportunities Fund LP, and Brookville
Horizons Fund, L.P.  Together, they held US$75 million, or
approximately 6% of the outstanding bond debt.  The Noteholder
group commenced involuntary bankruptcy cases under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code against Vitro Asset Corp. (Bankr. N.D.
Tex. Case No. 10-47470) and 15 other affiliates on Nov. 17, 2010.

Vitro engaged Susman Godfrey, L.L.P. as U.S. special litigation
counsel to analyze the potential rights that Vitro may exercise in
the United States against the ad hoc group of dissident
bondholders and its advisors.

A larger group of noteholders, known as the Ad Hoc Group of Vitro
Noteholders -- comprised of holders, or investment advisors to
holders, which represent approximately US$650 million of the
Senior Notes due 2012, 2013 and 2017 issued by Vitro -- was not
among the Chapter 11 petitioners, although the group has expressed
concerns over the exchange offer.  The group says the exchange
offer exposes Noteholders who consent to potential adverse
consequences that have not been disclosed by Vitro.  The group is
represented by John Cunningham, Esq., and Richard Kebrdle, Esq. at
White & Case LLP.

The U.S. affiliates subject to the involuntary petitions are Vitro
Chemicals, Fibers & Mining, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.10-
47472); Vitro America, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47473);
Troper Services, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47474); Super
Sky Products, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47475); Super Sky
International, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47476); VVP
Holdings, LLC (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 0-47477); Amsilco
Holdings, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47478); B.B.O.
Holdings, Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47479); Binswanger
Glass Company (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47480); Crisa
Corporation (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47481); VVP Finance
Corporation (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47482); VVP Auto Glass,
Inc. (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47483); V-MX Holdings, LLC
(Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47484); and Vitro Packaging, LLC
(Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 10-47485).

A bankruptcy judge in Fort Worth, Texas, denied involuntary
Chapter 11 petitions filed against four U.S. subsidiaries.  On
April 6, 2011, Vitro SAB agreed to put Vitro units -- Vitro
America LLC and three other U.S. subsidiaries -- that were subject
to the involuntary petitions into voluntary Chapter 11. The Texas
Court on April 21 denied involuntary petitions against the eight
U.S. subsidiaries that didn't consent to being in Chapter 11.

Kurtzman Carson Consultants is the claims and notice agent to
Vitro America, et al.  Alvarez & Marsal North America LLC, is the
Debtors' operations and financial advisor.

The official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the
Chapter 11 cases of Vitro America, et al., has selected Sarah
Link Schultz, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in
Dallas, Texas, and Michael S. Stamer, Esq., Abid Qureshi, Esq.,
and Alexis Freeman, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP,
in New York, as counsel.  Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P. serves
as financial advisor to the Committee.

The U.S. Vitro companies sold their assets to American Glass
Enterprises LLC, an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners Inc., for
US$55 million.

* PARAGUAY: IDB OKs US$27 Million Loan for Development Program
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Inter-American Development Bank approved a loan for US$27
million to Paraguay for an early childhood development program
that will help improve cognitive, emotional, and physical
development of children under age five through early detection and
treatment of developmental disorders.

The program will strengthen measures to promote child development
through the primary health care system, with the participation of
communities and through the use of culturally relevant approaches.
In addition, the program will strengthen diagnostic and treatment
services at other health care levels.

The program includes the creation of an Early Intervention Service
for the diagnosis and treatment of children.  The service's
trained staff will work as part of the network of Family Health
Units, hospitals, and maternal and child care units.  Financing
will also be provided to strengthen hospitals and maternal and
child care facilities as well as the management of monitoring and
evaluation of early childhood development.

The IDB loan for US$27 million has a 25-year term, a four-year
grace period, and an interest rate based on LIBOR. Local
counterpart funding will total US$3 million.

Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable.   Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.
Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices
for actual trades are probably different.  Our objective is to
share information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR-LA constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy
or sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds some position in the
issuers' public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on the
latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication.  At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR-LA. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com
