******* The tortured tale of The Source, the embattled hip-hop magazine, wound its way into bankruptcy court yesterday. Three disgruntled creditors filed an involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against the Source Enterprises Inc. which could force a liquidation sale. The filing derailed a plan by Textron financial, the Providence, R.I.-based investor that had loaned the Source's former executive team of David Mays and Raymond "Benzino" Scott some $18 million, to finally extract itself from the troubled hip-hop operation. Textron hoped it could conduct a much-delayed auction of the stock it owned when the court ordered Mays and Benzino to relinquish ownership after running up millions in unpaid bills and reneging on the company's loan obligations. Black Enterprise/Greenwich Street Partners, another lender of money to the old regime, had been attempting to run the magazine for the past several months. MORE ONLINE
