Melville Capital, LLC Brokers the Sale of Antietam Funding, LLC Life Settlement Portfolio, Delivering Over $10,750,000 to the Bankrupt Estate

NEW YORK, April 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Melville Capital, LLC has successfully advised on the sale of Antietam Funding's remaining life insurance portfolio that closed March 28, 2012. 

The parent owner of Antietam is bankrupt hedge fund SageCrest II and through controlled entities like Antietam, purchased or financed life insurance policies. Melville was retained as the exclusive Life Settlement Broker and Advisor to the estate and Jack D. Huber , of Navigant Capital Advisors, the Wind-Down and Workout Manager in In re SageCrest II LLC, et al. ("SageCrest"), Case No. 08-50754 in connection with bankruptcy proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Connecticut, Bridgeport Division.

The engagement was jointly managed by Melville's President Robert Stark and its Managing Director Doug Himmel . Melville is the country's premier Life Settlement Broker practicing in the area of restructuring and insolvency with headquarters in New York and offices in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Charleston, SC.

Stark commented, "SageCrest is a complicated bankruptcy involving many entities and high-profile bank creditors. It was imperative that these policies, substantially the last remaining assets in the bankruptcy, be sold expeditiously but also at true market pricing and I believe we hit this mark. The sale could not have closed without the contribution of the entire working group of advisors and attorneys." 

About Melville Capital

Melville Capital is a Life Settlement Broker focused on monetizing and liquidating existing life insurance policies. In insolvency matters, often there is substantial cash flow generated to individuals/companies in transition, policy owners, Turnaround and Bankruptcy advisors, and Trustees.
