Court Information
CCC Performance
CCC was hired by the Linen Defendants to act as the Voucher Consultant, Voucher Administrator and Market Maker. Though the case involved seven different defendants, many of who were in varying stages of insolvency, CCC’s expertise in optimizing coupon markets resulted in a final voucher redemption rate of 93%, an exceptionally high redemption rate. CCC purchased Linen vouchers from all of the Linen plaintiff’s attorneys, resold those vouchers in the marketplace and conducted multiple auctions matching buyers and sellers of the vouchers.
