I'm no financial wiz kid but this story is a little strange and convoluted...
I think this is the first of the story but not totally correct???
Citi bank works for REVLON COSMETICS as an intermediary that makes payments to Revlons creditors for the loans that Revlon owes them, and they are debts due in the future...
Revlon has been losing stock value because of the pandemic and many on "the street" thought that it's real value was only .30 cents on the dollar? Or that Revlon was in such bad shape that they would only be able to payback .30 cents on every dollar that was loaned to them?...( One or the other)...
So instead of the normal WAY WAY SMALLER DEBT PAYMENT THAT WAS DUE THE CREDITORS...
CITI bank paid them $900,000,000.00 and the companies took the money and kept it And WILL NOT GIVE IT BACK...
EVEN A LEGAL JUDGE has said the companies can keep the money...
Of course there will be appeals upon lawsuits...but that will only help the lawyers$$$ bottom line and not the loan companies, or Revlon or Citi bank...
