Ousted from the executive suite of his U.S. Virgin Islands communications empire through a contentious bankruptcy reorganization, former Innovative Communication Corp. owner and CEO Jeffrey Prosser is waiting to learn whether he still has legal standing to participate in the company's Chapter 11 case. The trustee in the corporate reorganization has called him "completely and hopelessly out of the money" in pleadings and asked the court to rule that Prosser, whose personal bankruptcy was converted to a Chapter 7, lacks standing. - Chris Nolter
