The assets of Axium International Inc. are scheduled to be sold in bankruptcy court today. Bankruptcy trustee Howard Ehrenberg said a company affiliated with former Axium President Ruben Rodriguez is the opening bidder at $2.5 million, but there are five other bidders as well.

Axium also owned Ensemble Chimes Global, but ECG's assets were sold in bankruptcy court on Jan. 23 to MPS Group Inc. (NYSE: MPS).

Axium filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on Jan. 8; a day later ECG also filed for bankruptcy. Axium processed payrolls and provided financing for the entertainment industry as well as owned ECG.
