Former Midway Owner Sumner Redstone Must Be Deposed, Bankruptcy Court Rules

March 24, 2009

Earlier this month GamePolitics broke the news that media mogul and former Midway owner Sumner Redstone had been subpoenaed for a deposition by unsecured Midway creditors who suspected hanky-panky in the November sale of the Mortal Kombat publisher for a mere $100,000 last November.

According to Redstone's subpoena, he was to be deposed in Manhattan yesterday. But attorneys for Redstone and business associate Robert Steele appeared in Bankruptcy Court in Delaware on Friday in an attempt to quash those subpoenas.

That maneuver failed, however, and the Court ruled today that Redstone's deposition was "appropriate."

That being the case, Redstone will be deposed on Friday of this week, while Steele will give his deposition on Thursday.

The motion to quash apparently did not include Redstone's daughter Shari, who formerly chaired Midway's board. Shari Redstone's deposition was scheduled for March 19th.

Andrew Eisen: To be fair, I don't think that's what he was facepalming and if he was, that would still be three. MP's would make it four, but that happened after the fact. The rest of the posts are about us commenting on his repeated misuse, not the misuse itself.02/08/2012 - 10:34pm

Andrew Eisen: Four to five? Really? That doesn’t sound right. Wait a moment, let me count... Nope, it was just one. And if you meant four to five between us, there's still only two.02/08/2012 - 9:03pm
DorthLous: And, you guys, always take about 4-5 posts to explain it in the shoutbox each time. It's like people complaining about reposts or "First!" posters. Just ignore the annoying part, guys.02/08/2012 - 8:51pm
RedMage: I do want to point out how sad it is that Andrew has had to point this out to you at least three times by my knowledge, Uncharted.02/08/2012 - 7:31pm
Andrew Eisen: If you have to ask, maybe you should consider breaking your annoying habit of prefixing nearly every story you link to with an all caps "breaking" or "urgent." Especially when it's only ever been appropriate twice.02/08/2012 - 5:37pm
