* The woman whose ex-husband flipped a coin for $3.75 million against Credit Suisse has lost her bid to stay out of bankruptcy liquidation.

* When it rains, it pours. White & Case seems to have enough problems already, with being the posterchild for the BigLaw meltdown and getting embroiled in that ugly pornstar/cheating husband mess in Miami. Now the firm’s Moscow office has been raided by authorities investigating a client. DLA Piper’s office has also been searched.
* Meanwhile, back in the states, W&C’s Tom Lauria, who provided us so much entertainment, will be out of the headlines for a little while (probably). The dissident GM bondholders have turned to Patton Boggs’s Michael Richman. He’s already planning a different strategy. Rather than trying to block sales, he’s working on ensuring that his clients return their priority in the distributions.
* At least Lauria and partner Glenn Kurtz got a parting gift: they were AmLaw Daily’s litigators of the week. No love for Owen Pell, who handled the appellate work?
