Two recent decisions issued in the bankruptcy proceedings of Enron Corp., et al., highlight - and threaten to expand considerably - the risks facing purchasers of claims against a debtor. These include (i) the risk that the claims held by an innocent third party purchaser will be subordinated under Section 510(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) the risk that such claims will be disallowed under Section 502(d) of the Code.
