The Revel Casino, with about $1.5 billion in debt,
is expected to file a prepack bankruptcy
in the next several weeks, less than a year after the casino opened.
The company's lenders are expected to have a significant equity position
in the company when it emerges from bankruptcy, but will have much less
in debt. The casino was originally started by Morgan Stanley, but the
bank abandoned the project and wrote off its $1.2 billion investment.
