BANCO SANTOS: U.S. Court Recognizes Proceedings in Brazil
---------------------------------------------------------
On January 13, 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Florida granted the motion of Vanio Cesar Pickler, as
Trustee of Banco Santos S.A., seeking recognition of Banco Santos'
proceeding pending in the 2nd Bankruptcy Court of Sao Paulo,
Brazil, as a "foreign main proceeding" pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
1517(b)(1).

By virtue of the Court's recognition of Banco Santos' proceeding
in Brazil as a foreign main proceeding, among other things, all
persons and entities are stayed from executing against the assets
of Banco Santos located in the United States.

A copy of the Bankruptcy Court's order is available for free at:

    http://bankrupt.com/misc/BancoSantos.recognitionorder.pdf

                 Liquidation Proceeding in Brazil

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on December 14, 2010,
Banco Santos was a prominent bank in Brazil, until events
beginning around the end of 2004 eventually led to the bank being
liquidated in 2005.  On November 12, 2004, the Central Bank of
Brazil felt compelled to intervene after it appeared that Banco
Santos was facing insolvency due to an apparent deficit of
hundreds of millions of reals.  The insolvency was suspected to
have been the result of unscrupulous dealings by Edemar Cid
Ferreira, the former head of Banco Santos, as well as others of
Banco Santos' officers and directors.

Brazilian investigators believe that Mr. Ferreira, with the help
of his wife, son, and others, set up a series of holding companies
and trusts linked substantially to one bank and one offshore
company they apparently controlled -- Bank of Europe in Antigua
and Alsace Lorraine Investment Services Ltd. in the British Virgin
Islands.  Utilizing these offshore vehicles, Banco Santos would
encourage, and in some cases require, investors to deposit cash in
favor of the Bank of Europe in Antigua as collateral for loans in
Brazil.

Eventually the scheme began to unravel, leading Banco Santos to
take measures such as raising cash by selling junk bonds to the
offshore vehicles.  Millions of dollars (or reals) invested
offshore were misappropriated by Mr. Ferreira, including spending
on a lavish art collection valued in the tens of millions of
dollars.  In addition, Mr. Ferreira lives in a residence in Sao
Paulo that he remodeled circa 2003-2004 at the expense of some
US$60 million, which is owned by two of the Related Entities,
whose shares in turn are owned by offshore vehicles.

As a result of his complicity in the collapse of Banco Santos,
Mr. Ferreira was charged by Brazil's federal police with financial
crimes and money laundering, among other things.  He was
eventually convicted and sentenced to 21 years in prison.  He
remains out of prison on bail pending an appeal.  Other persons
associated with Banco Santos also were charged with crimes and
convicted.

On May 4, 2005, Banco Santos was placed into extra-judicial
liquidation, which is a precursor to full bankruptcy under
Brazilian law.  On September 20, 2005, the Brazilian Court issued
an Order converting the extra-judicial liquidation into a full,
court-supervised bankruptcy, and also appointed the Trustee as
Judicial Administrator of Banco Santos.

The Banco Santos Proceeding remains pending and the Trustee is
overseeing efforts to identify, locate, and capture assets
belonging to the estate and the Related Parties.

Today, the Estate of Banco Santos has 1,969 creditors and debts of
about BRL$2.4 billion (around US$1.4 billion).  The total of Banco
Santos' proven assets recovered by the Trustee to date, however,
is BRL900 million (approximately US$530 million).  Based on the
Trustee's investigation, information from the Brazilian
investigators, and other sources, the Trustee believes that a
significant amount of assets were diverted by Mr. Ferreira and/or
others prior to the Central Bank's intervention.

The Trustee desires to proceed with an investigation into the
assets of Banco Santos and of the Related Entities, including, for
example, as to assets that are in the U.S. or that were
transferred through the U.S., as well as transactions involving
Banco Santos and the Related Entities with persons or entities
located in the U.S.

                         About Banco Santos

Paulo, Brazil-based Banco Santos S.A., filed a Chapter 15 petition

TRICO MARINE: U.S. Court Approves Sale of Three Vessels
-------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware authorized
Trico Marine Services, Inc., and its debtor affiliates to sell
three vessels to the successful bidders in an auction held
January 24, 2011.

The Debtors previously notified the Court the successful and back-
up bidders with respect to the sale of three vessels:

                 Successful                  Back-Up
Vessel          Bidder           Offer      Bidder       Offer
------          ----------    ----------    -------   ----------
Buffalo River   Sea Lyon      US$195,000    Blanco    US$190,000
                 Marine Inc.                 Offshore
                                             Logistics
                                             SA de C.V.

James River     Arfersi         $820,000    Olmeca     $800,000
                 SA de C.V.                  SA de C.V.

Pearl River     Naviera         $695,000    Blanco     $680,000
                 Mexicana                    Offshore
                 Neptuno                     Logistics
                 SA de C.V.                  SA de C.V.

Each of the Vessels is being sold "as is, where is," and closing
is to occur whenever the Debtors are in a position to close.  A
deposit of 20% of the final purchase price was to be made by
January 27, 2011, by the Successful Bidder and the Back-Up Bidder.

The Court also approved the payment of a break-up fee of US$15,000
to Blanco Offshore Logistics, S.A. de C.V., the back-up bidder for
the Pearl River, payable at the closing of the sale from the sale
proceeds.

In a separate order, the Court also authorized the Debtors to sell
the Hondo River and the Spirit River to Odyssea Vessels, Inc.  On
January 24, Odyssea Vessels offered to purchase the Hondo
River and Spirit River for US$13,000,000, en bloc, from the
Debtors.  After consultation with the official committee of
unsecured creditors, Obsidian Agency Services, Inc., as agent
under the senior secured, super-priority debtor-in-possession
credit agreement dated August 24, 2010, and holders of the
Debtors' 8.125% notes, the Debtors accepted the offer from Odyssea
as the highest and best offer for the Vessels.

On the closing date of the sale of the Buffalo River, James River
and Pearl River vessels, the buyer is directed to wire all sale
proceeds, less a certain "MARAD payoff," the Hondo Deposit and the
Spirit Deposit to an escrow at Wilmington Trust Company.

At or prior to the closing date, the Debtors will provide The Bank
of Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor indenture trustee,
with 40 to 60 days' notice of the redemption of all remaining
MARAD Notes.

The buyer will wire to BNY Mellon, an amount equal to all of the
outstanding principal of US$4,400,000, plus estimated interest and
BNY Mellon's reasonable fee and expenses, estimated to be
US$155,489, under the US$18,900,000 of notes due in 2014 and
secured by the first priority liens of MARAD.

In addition, from the sale proceeds deposited into the escrow on
the closing date, the Debtors will reserve a good-faith estimate
of the make-whole premium asserted by BNY Mellon in connection
with the payment of the MARAD Notes, estimated to be US$535,000.

GUYSUCO: Government Pledges US$5 Million to Boost Production
------------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that the government of Guyana said it
will give Guyana Sugar Corporation (Guysuco) a US$5 million grant
to spur production following last year's large-scale strikes and
heavy rains.

Agriculture Minister Robert Persaud said that the money will be
used to pay production incentives to workers who qualify,
according to Associated Press.

The report notes that disputes between workers and the Guyana
Sugar Corporation in 2010, led to strikes and the lowest
production in a decade of only 219,000 tons (199,000 metric tons).
The Associated Press relates that Guysuco owes commercial banks
and other creditors about US$15 million and has been struggling to
pay salaries.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
December 18, 2009, Caribbean Net News said that sugar workers at
all sugar estates across Guyana went on strike in protest of a 3%
pay increase they are set to receive from the Guyana Sugar
Corporation for 2009 which will be paid in 2010.  According to the
report, an arbitration panel ruled that the workers should receive
the 3% increase that they are demanding.  However, the report
related, the corporation said it cannot make this payment.

                       About Guysuco

The Guyana Sugar Corporation -- http://www.guysuco.com/-- is a
Guyanese sugar company owned by the government.  It is the
country's largest cultivator and producer of sugar, a commodity
which is responsible for approximately 20% of Guyana's annual
revenue and 40% of all agricultural production.   They are also
notable of Demerara Sugar, and also honey and sweetners.

ABRAHAM PETROLEUM: Bankr. Court Abstains From Hearing Hassan Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Enrique S. Lamoutte of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Puerto Rico granted the Defendant's request to dismiss
the lawsuit entitled Abraham Petroleum Corp., v. Hassan and Sons
Corp., Adv. Pro. No. 10-0015 (Bankr. D. P.R.).  Judge Lamoutte
said discretionary abstention is warranted in the case because,
(1) the Plaintiffs' claims are based entirely on state law, (2)
there is an open and ongoing state court proceeding available to
Debtor Abraham Petroleum, and (3) the Plaintiffs' resort to the
Bankruptcy Court in this case at this time can be viewed as forum
shopping.  The claims for relief alleged in the complaint wholly
revolve upon matters of local law, and resolution would not
involve any issues of bankruptcy law, the Court noted.  Therefore,
discretionary abstention in favor of the state courts is
appropriate, the Court held.  Notwithstanding, any monetary award
against the Debtor must be channeled through the bankruptcy
proceeding, Judge Lamoutte opined.

On February 8, 2010, the Debtor filed a complaint against the
Defendant for recovery of property, eviction, breach of contract,
collection of money and damages.  The complaint is premised on the
breach of a lease and supply agreement entered into by the Debtor
with the Defendant on March 30, 2008, for the use by the Defendant
of the Debtor's service station at Barrio Hato Abajo, Arecibo,
Puerto Rico.  The Defendant agreed to operate the service station
and purchase fuel from the Debtor.  The complaint alleges that the
Defendant failed to pay for rent and merchandise since February
2009.  Additionally, the Defendant failed to pay the amounts
corresponding to partial payments of the "key" or right to
operate.  Also, the complaint alleges breach of a sub lease
agreement executed on May 1, 2007, between the Debtor and the
Defendant for the use of real property located at Urbanizacion San
Fernando in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, in which the Defendant agreed to
operate the service station and purchase products from the Debtor.
The Debtor notified the Defendant of its decision to rescind or
cancel both contracts.  The complaint includes six causes of
action: breach of contract and eviction; debt collection;
temerity; dispossession of premises and equipment; indemnification
and damages; general damages; and attorney's fees and expenses.

The Defendant filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, alleging
that it filed a state court action against the Debtor on Feb. 20,
2009, before the Superior Court of Bayamon based on the same
allegations and therefore, the Bankruptcy Court should abstain
from those proceedings.  The state court complaint filed against
the Debtor raises five causes of action: cancellation of supply
contract; cancellation of the lease of the property at Urb. San
Fernando, Bayamon; cancellation of the lease of the property at
Barrio Hato Abajo, Arecibo; cancellation of the sales contract of
the going concern located at Urb. San Fernando; and cancellation
of the sales contract of the going concern located at Barrio Hato
Abajo.  The Defendant filed a proof of claim in the Debtor's
bankruptcy case for US$3,775,000.

POPULAR INC: Banco Popular to Unload US$500 Million in Loans
------------------------------------------------------------
Caribbean Business reports that Popular, Inc. is moving to unload
a big chunk of non-performing construction and commercial real
estate loans as it works to jettison problem assets that have
weighed down earnings at Banco Popular de Puerto Rico for two
years.

Banco Popular de Puerto Rico has signed a non-binding letter of
intent to sell approximately US$500 million (book value) of
construction and commercial real estate loans to a newly created
joint venture, according to Caribbean Business.  The report
relates that the loans, approximately 75% are categorized as non-
performing, will go for a purchase price equal to 47% of their
unpaid principal balance as of December 31, 2010.

Caribbean Business notes that the loans are part of a portfolio of
approximately US$610 million (book value) of construction,
commercial real estate and land loans that were reclassified as
loans held-for-sale as of December 31, 2010.  The unpaid principal
balance of the loans does not reflect any charge-offs previously
taken by the corporation, which are reflected in their book value,
the report relates.

In addition, on December 31, 2010, Popular's U.S. banking
subsidiary, Banco Popular North America, reclassified
approximately US$395 million (book value) of U.S. non-conforming
residential mortgage loans as loans available-for-sale and is
pursuing potential loan sales alternatives, Caribbean Business
recounts.

The report says that the reclassification of the U.S. and Puerto
Rico portfolios will negatively impact pre-tax, fourth-quarter
earnings by approximately US$190 million.

Caribbean Business discloses that as part of the Puerto Rico
transaction, Banco Popular de Puerto Rico will make a 24.9% equity
investment in the venture.  The report relates that Banco Popular
will also provide financing to the venture for the acquisition of
the loans in an amount equal to 50% of the purchase price and
certain closing costs.  In addition, Banco Popular will provide
financing to the venture to cover unfunded commitments related to
certain construction projects (subject to customary conditions of
construction draws) and to fund certain operating expenses of the
venture, the report notes.

The transaction, which is subject to the completion of due
diligence and the execution of definitive documentation, as well
as customary closing conditions, is expected to close during the
first quarter of 2011, Caribbean Business adds.

                            ***********

Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable.   Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to
publication.  Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual
trades.  Prices for actual trades are probably different.  Our
objective is to share information, not make markets in publicly
traded securities.  Nothing in the TCR-LA constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind.  It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on
the latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication.  At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical
cost net of depreciation may understate the true value of a
firm's assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance
sheet for liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at
which equity securities trade in public market are determined by
more than a balance sheet solvency test.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR-LA. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com
