Bank ruling frees Bennett funds as secured status questioned
Judge Derling ruled Marine Midland lacks a secured interest in Bennett Funding Group leases due to misnaming in financing statements, jeopardizing claims by 48 banks seeking 67.2 million. The decision could shift about 55 million to unsecured creditors and boost investor payouts from 20 to about 27 or 28 cents on the dollar, affecting 12,000 investors and other banks in the Chapter 11 case.

Key indicator's April drop marks first in 15 months

After March's revised 0.3 percent rise, April's decline fuels debate over whether the economy is cooling. Analysts cite special factors like Midwest floods and labor unrest, while workers and consumer confidence show resilience.
