Join the WCNY Restructuring & Distressed Investing Affinity Group (WRDI) and Sujeet Indap WG’06 for a conversation about his book “The Caesars Palace Coup”, five years after its publication. Joining Sujeet will be Jay Weinberger, a Managing Director in Houlihan Lokey’s Financial Restructuring Group and key advisor to the junior bondholders in the Caesars restructuring.
About the Book:
Since its publication in 2021, "The Caesar's Palace Coup" has become a seminal book on Wall Street history. The book explores the epic bankruptcy fight at casino titan Caesars Entertainment and features such firms as Apollo Global Management, TPG Capital, Elliott Management, Appaloosa Management and Oaktree Capital.
About the Conversation:
We will spend the first half of the discussion exploring Jay’s first hand experience of living through Caesars, including the pivotal decisions and negotiations behind the headlines. In the second half, we will consider how the case informs restructuring today and what its lessons mean for investors and advisers.
About the Speakers:
