The Carlyle Group's Sapphire Energy charged lawyers with
snatching back $17.5 million in escrow money owed to Morris Energy Group LLC from the purchase of eight power plants. It's the battle of an army of lawyers from competing
distressed investors,
MEG vs.
Carlyle/Riverstone:
MEG focuses on improving the financial performance of distressed generating businesses in the Northeast U.S.
Carlyle/Riverstone's Sapphire is
managed by the Topaz Power Group team. Topaz is 50%
owned by Carlyle.
