Troubled retailer USA Discounters, which has been accused of scamming its military customers, will keep its chapter 11 case in one of the nation's busiest bankruptcy courts, Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported today. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Sontchi recently ordered USA Discounters to defend its choice of the Delaware court over "some other appropriate venue," such as a Virginia court closer to its corporate headquarters. After hearing from the company and its creditors that the case should remain in Delaware, Judge Sontchi found that the company's choice of venue was legal and that other concerns — such as the convenience of creditors and the interest of justice — either support keeping the case in Delaware or were "neutral."
