A process that - and this is the really important part - is assisted by the court, where orders are placed to keep the company’s (many) creditors at bay.
Along with the announcement of the Chapter 11 filing, TFL’s current CEO, Chris Amani, said this:
"This step protects our ability to continue working with the community on infrastructure, innovative tools and products, and other ecosystem support,"
It’s eerily positive news, coming from a seemingly negative news story, no?
