Randolph Baxter
Randolph Baxter is a United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Northern District of Ohio, presiding over the Level Propane Bankruptcy. He is in his second 15-year term as a bankruptcy judge, having come from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio, where he served in the appellate section during the era of the Mafia sweeps in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Judge Baxter has ruled consistently in favor of the Bank Group and consistently against every other constituency in these proceedings. The Rudd-Verbos emails of October, 2000 suggest that he was an initial member of the scheme to seize control of Level Propane. When John Rudd first corresponded with the initial participants in the scheme to seize Level Propane, Judge Baxter was named as a key player, whose job it would be to “side against the owners/board members of LP [Level Propane.]” He may also have been a recipient of the later “enjoy the wealth” emails. If this was his assignment, Judge Baxter has pursued this assignment with dogged purpose, undeterred by the established facts.
