Civil lawsuits on behalf of his investors are sure to come:
"On Friday, a group of investors sued Falcone and Harbinger in
Manhattan federal court, arguing the “all in” investment in
LightSquared had squandered billions."
( for our math-challenged, that's '_thousands_ of millions')
and this:
"Inmarsat said Monday it hasn't’t received a $56.3 million payment
from LightSquared as per its cooperative agreement"

And can you imagine paying 24% interest on a $190 million loan from
Jefferies Group Inc.? Since he can't get any Venture Capital now that
the Securities and Exchange Commission is on his case, how is he not
going to default on that loan also?
I think it is going to be a Rough Ride for Falcone from here on out.
And he can't liquidate his iron mine because it is losing more money
than it is taking in.
He's finished, all except for the paperwork. And good riddance to
him.
