It's in the Delaware District Case # 19-10479. I'm sure any one with enough money can buy them out at this point.

If you have access to PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) you can look at the case. PACER is available to anyone, you just need to register and provide a credit card. The charge 10¢ per search and the same per page to view a document, i.e. a 20 page document would be $2.00. I use it every day for my job and it is quite handy.
The correct docket entry is 1:2019bk10484 under the name F & W Media International Limited.

A failed company in an industry (print media, not the hobby) with a bleak future? No surprise that there aren't folks lining up with a check.
At the risk of sounding like an old man yelling at clouds, I'm really sad over the state of the printed word these days. I remember when we got a morning paper delivered (Newark Star-Ledger), I threw an afternoon paper (Newark Evening News), and most days my father brought home one or two late editions of NY papers he'd read on his commute (Daily News and/or Herald Tribune). Back on topic...as mentioned above, I really hope there is room for a well-done hobby publication. But I'm not very optimistic.

I'm a print guy but the world has changed.
Recently I saw a 1991 copy of the Dallas Morning News and it had something like 17 sections on a Sunday and I think Saturday had like 10 and weekdays like 12. I noticed that because while having lunch on a recent Saturday at Cowboy Chicken. the Metro (DFW) and Business section were combined. There were like 3-4 total sections. Period, end of sentence. I think in a couple of years we'll have 2 sections: 1) News (Local, National and International with Business Included) 2) Sports Many daily papers in small areas. if they still exist. are down to ONE section The printed word is diminishing every day.

If they start selling off remaining assets, someone could buy the Standard Catalog rights and database I assume.

It would be great if someone would buy the database rights but I am not sure it's a winning proposition for anyone. Kids (and too many adults) are too addicted to their phones to pick up a book.

Onething SCD did not do, which I wished they had, was to digitize all their weekly papers they did from the 90s. Bob Lemke was frustrated about this I know too, as I wanted to read some old articles he did. I recall there was no way to see them in any archives.

It seems strange that they filed this as a Chapter 11 (reorganization) with such a dire financial situation. At least they seem hopeful that there is a path to continue operation. But if they convert to a Chapter 7 (liquidation), it is game over. All assets will be sold at that point.
