Both Credit Suisse and CrossHarbor Capital with financial help offered by some Club members, are battling for control of Edra Blixseth's bankrupt Big Sky, Montana Yellowstone Mountain Club:
Credit Suisse, failing in its attempt to setup a seven-figure loan plan, argues that because it's owed over $300M by the Club it should maintain control and is trying to block a financing deal from Boston-based CrossHarbor Capital,

Some Club members, siding with CrossHarbor Capital and Sam Byrne, showed up for the Tuesday, November 25th court proceedings, agreeing to inject an additional $5 million into Cross Harbor Capital's plan.

In a sort of "geometric strategy," Credit Suisse offered to continue financing the club into the first week of
