The Christian Brothers have phoenixed the entire organisation to avoid their liabilities arising from sexual abuse settlements (and these are extensive, their now-closed school in my home town of Goulburn having six or so staff members arrested, and all bar one convicted).
Christian Brothers moved $3B of property into a new organisation, and are now saying "so sorry, we'll have to go bankrupt".
Guardian Australia broke the story, latest here:
