To quote judge neubold. A pot of gold situation. In normal bankruptcy there is no value of consequence and hence the shareholders have nothing after creditors. Here we have a claim of extremely large value if successful hence the pot of gold. Bond holders wanted it all but the judge deemed that unfair and placed the company in protection till claim settled. We are into an agreement that tenor who is financing the proceedings gets most of the proceeds as well as bond holders and management who have the knowledge to fight the case. There will be enough -if successful to leave a good chunk for ordinary shareholders so hope continues. It may never trade on an exchange but there should be checks cut to the shareholders of reasonable amounts per share.
