I hear the former CEO of GlobalCrossing is building a $50,000,000
house in Florida, one of the two states in the country where you can
build a house if you're bankrupt.  The other state is Texas.  This
despite the fact that 35,000 GlobalCrossing employees are out of work.
 Can you supply a good article referencing this information?

Hi,

Here is the article from Monday's USA Today that states there are five
states that will allow people to keep their homes if you're bankrupt. 
It also discusses 2 Global Crossing CEO's home construction along with
floks from Enron and Martha Stewart.

This article also refers to the information you requested it is from
today's New York Observer.  It states that there were 9000 people put
out of work.

I hope this helps,

Outstanding work.  I got two hyperlinked articles, very promptly, with
factual corrections to my information.  I'm very pleased with this
researcher and with Google for offering the service.
