Thrasio Bankruptcy
Thrasio, a prominent buyer of Amazon based brands and Amazon based businesses from Amazon Sellers, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protections and bankruptcy reorganization.
The Amazon Sellers who sold their Amazon based businesses and the Amazon Sellers who sold their Amazon based brands are likely going to be considered “unsecured creditors” in Thrasio’s bankruptcy.
Participation in Creditors’ Committee
Amazon Sellers who sold their Amazon based brands and Amazon accounts to Thrasio are being categorized as “unsecured creditors” in Thrasio’s bankruptcy.
Amazon Sellers, as unsecured creditors, may have the right to participate in Thrasio’s bankruptcy proceeding.
Access to Information
Unsecured creditors, in the Amazon FBA landscape, are likely entitled to receive comprehensive information about Thrasio’s financial condition, business operations, and the proposed reorganization plan.

Vote on the Reorganization Plan
Unsecured creditors including the Amazon Sellers affected by Thrasio’s bankruptcy may vote on the proposed reorganization plan. The ultimate plan will outline Thrasio’s strategy to restructure its debts, affecting the treatment of unsecured claims. The active participation of unsecured creditors in this voting process is supposed to ensure a fair representation of their collective interests.
Opportunity to Object
The Amazon Sellers who sold their businesses to Thrasio before its bankruptcy retain the right to object to the Thrasio bankruptcy reorganization plan. This right becomes crucial if creditors believe that the plan unfairly discriminates against their class or fails to meet the requirements of the bankruptcy code. The bankruptcy court is responsible for evaluating these objections.
Potential for Conversion or Dismissal
The potential conversion of Thrasio’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy case to a Chapter 7 liquidation or its dismissal altogether adds an extra layer of complexity for unsecured creditors. Amazon Sellers who are owed money should monitor these possibilities closely, considering the potential impact on their claims and recovery.
Negotiation of Settlements
Amazon Sellers may have the opportunity to negotiate settlements outside the formal reorganization plan. These negotiations could involve the restructuring of debt, the extension of payment terms, or other arrangements tailored to satisfy the unique claims of unsecured creditors. Maybe Amazon Sellers can recoup their brands or purchase their brands from Thrasio during the bankruptcy process.
Understanding the rights of unsecured creditors in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filed by Thrasio is paramount for Amazon Sellers who sold their brands and/or Amazon accounts to Thrasio.
