Our club owned the Worldcom stock that emerged from
bankrupcy. Ourr inquiry with MCI resulted with thie reply
I copy below


"According to the company's plan of reorganization, which
was confirmed and made public on October 31, 2003, and in
accordance with the guidelines of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code,
equity ownership in the company transferred to the company's
creditors upon its emergence from Chapter 11 protection as
payment of debt. 100% of the stock in the reorganized
company was issued to the creditors. The creditors became
the shareholders making the existing WorldCom group stock
(WCOEQ) and MCI group stock (MCWEQ) worthless. When the
company emerged from Chapter 11 at the end of April, those
shares ceased trading and were cancelled.

The United States Bankruptcy Code governs payoffs of
pre-petition claims and pre-petition equity interests. The
Code prescribes a priority schedule under which various
claims are paid in a specific order with equity (stock)
interests at the lowest level. Shareholders have an equity
interest or ownership in the company, whereas a creditor has
a debt claim against the company. As a result, shareholders
cannot receive any distribution on their equity interests
unless all other creditors are paid in full or unless the
majority of the company's creditors agree to allow some
recovery to shareholders.

Based on bankruptcy laws and $41 billion in total
liabilities, the creditors are not getting full recovery so
there is no recovery for shareholders.

There is a section on the SEC's website regarding corporate
bankruptcy that explains why stock in bankruptcy is not
likely to have any value.

If you purchased your shares prior to June 25, 2002, I
encourage you to contact the SEC at 1-800-732-0330 about a
potential settlement.

On your tax question, I would encourage you to speak with an
accountant to get an appropriate answer. "

Our question is , in order to capture our loss on this stock
do we have to sell it now, or can we write it off as
worhless. If so how do we do this in Bivio accounting?
