New documents [filed](http://www.kccllc.net/sfx/document/1610238160726000000000005?ref=hypebot.com) in Delaware bankruptcy court this week outline a restructuring plan that would bring EDM promotion company SFX out of bankruptcy. Included in the filings is the option to seek damages for “breaches of fiduciary duty by former directors and officers of the debtors, and avoidance actions, such as fraudulent transfer claims under federal and state law”. The filings also refer to concerns over "insider transactions and funding issues” as well as Sillerman's failed promises to take the company private.

The resignation was a condition of investors and bondholders who had agreed to write off more than $300 million as part of a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy petition, which has now been withdrawn.
