The liquidators described these as \u2028\u201cilliquid\u201d, meaning they will have difficulty in selling them and realising their full market value.<\/p>\n<p class=\"permalinkable\" id=\"h53950-p8\">With Montaque Capital Partners\u2019 clients and creditors seemingly facing a bleak picture in terms of recovering what is owed to them, Messrs Rahming and Krys, according to the report, are searching for other sources of recovery.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mct-ai-attriblink\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tribune242.com\/news\/2014\/mar\/21\/insolvent-brokers-liquidators-possess-200k-for\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to read the complete article at tribune242.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The joint liquidators for Owen Bethel\u2019s insolvent Montaque Capital Partners currently possess just $196,238 in liquid assets to cover total creditor claims of $17.5 million, it has been revealed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":14806,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[153,93,31,98],"class_list":["post-55398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-business-2","tag-corruption","tag-crime","tag-financial"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
