Ruderman filed for bankruptcy to avoid foreclosure. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Mark then approved the $5.5 million sale to 7755 Red Road LLC, which is also led by Ruderman. The proceeds from the sale will be used to repay the $4.2 million in principal on BBX’s loan. The buyer also took out a loan $1.1 million loan to pay owed interest to BBX. [SFBJ]Christopher Cameron
