"Unintentionally, Cerberus ended up in the middle of a debacle they really could not have foreseen," said Elizabeth Nowicki, associate professor of business law at Tulane University Law School. "This is absolutely not going to crush Cerberus, nor do I think it's going to deter their capital raising. It is going to make it a lot harder."
