P. 2003, 2006, and 2009 and concluding that one of the creditors who requested the election was not qualified to do so or to vote in the election as the creditor had an interest materially adverse to other unsecured creditors based upon the creditor’s apparent receipt of preferential transfers totaling more than $4 million).
