IPI seeks US$7m in post-petition financing<\/a>, which Glass said would disadvantage creditors.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAccording to The Saipan Tribune, Glass noted that the Commonwealth holds US$87,573,315, or 52.8 per cent, of IPI\u2019s largest unsecured claims, which have accumulated due to missed payments to Commonwealth agencies since 2020. This includes US$62,010,280 owed for Annual Licence Fees, US$17,620,000 for Casino Regulatory Fees, and US$7,943,035.39 for taxes, penalties, and interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The motion notes that IPI has not been operational since 2020, has no income, and cannot meet its accruing post-petition obligations. The company\u2019s hotel remains unfinished, and its casino gaming licence is suspended, with two pending revocation proceedings. The NMI Bankruptcy Court will hear the motion in August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
