Remember last week when President Obama said that the Chrysler bankruptcy would be "fast and efficient"?
So much for that idea. The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the proceedings have already been delayed by the bankruptcy judge. Turns out Chrysler was supposed to submit its plan to the court on Friday but only managed to get it in last night.
The holdout investors, otherwise known as the evil hedge funds, called BS and the judge agreed. The investors also asked that the judge keep their identities secret as those that were already identified have received death threats.

A 3-day delay isn't bad at all. For comparison sake, Delphi entered bankruptcy in Oct 2005 with the intent of exiting by the following March. They're still in bankruptcy.
I'd be surprised if Chrysler exits even by next year.

I wonder why creditors' names were released in the first place.
