## Resource

A federal judge is escalating pressure on The Greenbrier Hotel’s owners, demanding a written explanation by Tuesday morning for why a $500 million financing deal—meant to pay off debts and fund renovations—hasn’t closed despite missing its July 16 deadline. The hotel’s lawyers previously asked for a 60-day extension, citing complexity, but now the judge wants specifics on why the deal shouldn’t move forward. Meanwhile, rival party White Sulphur Springs Holdings questions whether the refinancing is even secured, accusing the hotel of stalling to avoid court judgments. Complicating matters further, two longtime legal adversaries of the Justice family’s coal businesses are seeking to join the lawsuit to protect their own claims, and the judge has ordered all parties to respond by Wednesday. This mounting tension signals the court is losing patience—and the future of the historic hotel hangs in the balance.
