The claims deadline is an important step toward determining the final amount of money owed to the Radnor, Pa.-based foundation's creditors before its assets are liquidated and distributed. Investigators estimate that New Era has about $31 million in assets available to cover about $107 million owed to hundreds of investors who had hoped to double their money in six months. State and federal investigators say New Era founder John Bennett operated an illegal Ponzi scheme. University officials invested more than $2 million in New Era and had $1.5 million with the company when it filed for bankruptcy May 15. But according to former Philadelphia bankruptcy trustee John Carroll, the University may have actually gained $2.1 million from New Era. -- The Associated Press
