    To get in front of Drain [a corporation-friendly bankruptcy judge], the Sacklers opened an office in White Plains, NY, then waited 192 days to file bankruptcy papers there (it takes six months to establish jurisdiction). Their papers including invisible metadata that identified the case as destined for Judge Drain’s court, in a bid to trick the court’s Case Management/Electronic Case Files system to assign the case to him.
