Chrysler to File for Bankruptcy - washingtonpost.com

Will GM bondholders follow their lead?

Chrysler to File for Bankruptcy - washingtonpost.com:
"Chrysler, one of the three pillars of the American auto industry, will file for bankruptcy today after last-minute negotiations between the government and the automaker's creditors broke down last night, an Obama administration official said.

U.S. officials had offered Chrysler's secured lenders $2.25 billion in cash if they would agree to writedown the $6.9 billion in secured debt that the company owed. But a small group of hedge funds refused the 11th-hour deal, forcing an imminent bankruptcy."
