Halsey Minor, the CNET Networks Inc. founder who filed for bankruptcy last month, is seeking to reinstate his case after it was dismissed, saying that he should not be punished because his attorney missed a deadline for handing in documents, Bloomberg News reported on Saturday. The personal chapter 7 bankruptcy case, filed five years after Minor sold CNET for $1.8 billion, was dismissed on June 13 by a bankruptcy court over a “failure to file schedules, statements and/or plan,” according to an order posted in the online docket for the case. The documents include detailed lists of assets and explanations of a debtor’s state of affairs, which are required by judges. Minor listed assets of more than $32 million and debt of more than $104 million in court papers filed June 7. Minor’s attorney said that additional information was needed to complete the statement of financial affairs by the deadline and he “elected to file a complete and correct” document past the deadline. All required documents have now been filed, according to court papers.
