Reuters
17th Feb 2009
Trump Entertainment Resorts, Donald Trump's casino group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Tuesday, court documents show.
The casino operator had assets of about $2.1 billion and total debts of about $1.74 billion on Dec. 31, 2008, it said in its filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey.
Nine affiliates of the casino operator including Trump Plaza Associates, Trump Plaza Associates, Trump Marina Associates and Trump Taj Mahal Associates simultaneously sought protection, according to the filing.
The company missed a $53.1 million bond interest payment due on Dec 1st as a sharp downturn in consumer spending hit casino revenues.
Donald Trump said on Friday that he had decided to resign from the board of the company due to disagreements with bondholders who wanted the casino group to file for bankruptcy.
Shares of the company closed at 23 cents a share on Friday.

Next to file for Chap 11 will be Las Vegas Sands and inevitably, the construction of Marina Bay Sands IR in S'pore will be abandoned.
LVS share price has plunged 97% from its high of US$150 in Oct 07 to its current price of $3.36.
