I guess it helps a little bit.

A lawyer representing five former employees of Curt Schilling’s bankrupt video game company asked Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley on Friday to investigate the firm’s relocation company for violating the state’s consumer protection law and sticking workers with a second mortgage.

Game face, dude.

So, remember when it came out, as part of the airing of dirty laundry that accompanied the demise of 38 Studios, that Curt Schilling had chosen to use $4 million of Rhode Island’s $75 million loan to pay himself rather than make payroll? Seemed pretty selfish, right?

To be fair, they’re bill collectors—what do you expect them to say?

“Unpaid wage claims become a matter for the courts when a company declares bankruptcy or is placed into receivership.”

Perhaps the best path would be to take advantage of the fact that the 38 Studios bonds are moral-obligation bonds rather than general-obligation bonds, and simply default and refuse to pay. The big downside to defaulting is that it makes it much harder to borrow money in the future. But considering Rhode Island’s track record of debt-financed economic development schemes, that might be a blessing in disguise.

RBS Citizens, better known as Citizens Bank, has sued Curt Schilling to recover $2.4 million in loans it made to the retired Red Sox star’s bankrupt video game company.
