WEINSTEIN CO. OWES MONEY TO MALIA OBAMA, JENNIFER LAWRENCE, THOUSANDS MORE: A fascinating 394-page document has surfaced from The Weinstein Company‘s bankruptcy filing, showing the number of people it owes money to.

Amounts are not specified, though the company’s filings list between $500,000,001 and $1 billion in liabilities. Of the company’s 30 largest creditors it owes money to, $17.4 million is the highest amount listed, which TWC owes to Sartraco Inc. It also reportedly owes Viacom International $5.6 million and Creative Artists Agency $1.5 million. TWC filed for bankruptcy Monday, six months after more than 60 women came forward accusing co-founder Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct, including rape. He was fired from the company shortly after the allegations materialized. He has denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex.
