A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of one session from the September 2021 live seminar, 36th Annual Mid-Atlantic Institute on Bankruptcy.
Judge Clarkson’s lecture and PowerPoint presentation of the life and 1656 Bankruptcy of the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn paints a unique picture of art, personality, the loves of his life, and his overwhelming financial successes and failures. Descriptions of unusual mortgages and defaults, disingenuous bankruptcy planning, fraudulent transfers, litigation and appeals, secret corporations to avoid creditors, and disputes with patrons — all of which present remarkable similarities between the Dutch legal system of the 17th Century and the U.S. Bankruptcy Code today.
