J.P. Morgan Chase Sues Enron
Dan Ackman, Forbes.com, 12.12.01, 9:00 AM ET
NEW YORK -
J.P. Morgan Chase on Tuesday filed a $2.1 billion lawsuit against Enron, in a move to secure some money it loaned outside the normal bankruptcy process.
The suit by the New York bank, one of the energy trader's largest lenders, illustrates the tangled nature of the Enron (nyse: ENE - news - people) bankruptcy case as it involves several Enron affiliates, in addition to Enron itself. While it is suing Enron on one hand, J.P. Morgan (nyse: JPM - news - people) is also one of the lead banks in securing post bankruptcy credit for Enron.
J.P. Morgan is claiming specific Enron assets such as accounts receivables, commercial paper, cash and other property, which the bank says makes its case not subject to the normal court stays that come with a bankruptcy filing. Its claim is on its own behalf and on the behalf of other banks that helped finance Enron's accounts receivables.
"It sounds like they are trying to get some of their money back,'' Andre Meade, an analyst at Commerzbank, told Reuters. J.P. Morgan itself called the filing a largely procedural move that shouldn't undermine the relationship between the two parties.
Today there will be the first formal meeting of Enron's largest unsecured creditors at a New York hotel, which is expected to be a heated exchange.
Enron is the largest bankruptcy case in U.S. history, and has drawn widespread attention; a Congressional committee will start hearings today on the company's spectacular dive. The hearing will feature testimony from Enron's auditors, but not its top executive, Kenneth Lay.
An Enron spokesman said he had not seen the suit and would not comment. But their lawyer said the action does not in any way signal a change of heart by J.P. Morgan in its fine relationship with the Houston-based Enron.
The suit involves complex securitizations of Enron's accounts receivables. Not only does the bank want to recover money, but the suit seeks information about some of the entities involved in Enron's financing schemes, such as Sequoia Financial Assets and Choctaw Investors.
J.P. Morgan, along with Citigroup (nyse: C - news - people), has hundreds of million dollars of exposure to Enron. They also are trying to line up investors to participate in a $1.5 billion loan to help Enron run its business while it reorganizes.
"We are suing on behalf of the bank groups for various facilities on which we are lead agents,'' J.P. Morgan spokeswoman Kristen Lemkau said. "We are seeking information to verify and confirm the extent of the security.''
A special purpose entity, Sequoia Financial Assets, allegedly bought accounts receivables from Enron and reinvested the money collected on the bills in short-term paper issued by Enron and its Enron North America unit, the suit said. Because Sequoia is capitalized separately, J.P. Morgan alleges it is not protected by the bankruptcy filing. Enron failed to surrender the assets or even give information about the assets, despite J.P. Morgan's demands, the suit said.
