Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, No. 25-1810 · judgment May 22, 2026

Question presented
Whether, in determining insolvency under 11 U. S. C. § 547(b)(3), a court may disregard the value of a disputed liability as established by either (1) a court judgment close in time to the challenged transfers; or (2) a probability-discount approach, and instead may base the valuation of the liability on a post-petition settlement that was reached years after the prepetition transfers.
