Hecker's creditors include hotels, banks, lawyers
MINNEAPOLIS - Fallen auto magnate Denny Hecker has 95 creditors, including auto finance firms, banks, attorneys, and a business partner.
Hecker filed for personal bankruptcy protection last week, saying he owes up to $1 billion to up to 1,000 creditors.
So far, 95 creditors are listed in court documents, including the Bellagio and Mirage hotel-casinos in Las Vegas, the city of Aspen, Colo., Royal Jewelers, and his business attorneys.
The amounts each creditor is owed are not listed.
Hecker's largest creditors are expected to be auto finance companies. The 56-year-old Hecker was one of Minnesota's largest car dealers, but with the economic downturn he has shuttered or sold 25 of his 26 dealerships.
