More Cerberus: Hound From Hell Or Cipher?

A Ball and Chain... Last weekend, we reported on

equity LBO group Cerberus problems with GMAC & ResCap in Hound From Hell or Cipher?...

we now interupt your regular programming for an update... ResCap said in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission today:

"There is a significant risk that we will not be able to meet our debt service obligations,

be unable to meet certain financial covenants in our credit facilities, and be in a negative liquidity position in June 2008
."

Residential Capital LLC, the mortgage- finance company owned by GMAC LLC, said

it will still need to come up with $600 million by the end of June to meet its debt requirements even if its bond exchange offer is successful.

ResCap, the eighth-largest U.S. residential lender in 2007, today began offering as little as 80 cents on the dollar

to exchange or buy back $14 billion of bonds to extend maturities and stave off bankruptcy.

To finance the restructuring, ResCap is seeking ANOTHER $3.5 billion credit facility from GMAC.
