The trustee in the Golden Guernsey Dairy bankruptcy case has filed lawsuits in federal court seeking to recover about $3.6 million that the company paid to distributors and other businesses, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported today. Trustee Charles Stanziale took the actions last week against 20 of Golden Guernsey's customers, suppliers and milk haulers. He's seeking anywhere from $24,000 to $911,507 from the individual defendants, according to the filings. Waukesha-based Golden Guernsey closed Jan. 5, 2013, after more than 80 years in business. The sudden shutdown of the milk-bottling and dairy processing plant left more than 100 people out of work. The company filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation shortly after the plant closing.
