Just a couple of random thoughts. If the assets were "hard assets" that the court has authorized GT to dispose of and the company had a valid claim I suppose they could take those assets in lieu of cash. The internal accounting would get a bit convoluted as there would need to be footprints showing a decrease in assets and a corresponding decrease in liabilities. The big question would be if the asset value was close to the claim or was there some "favoritism" being shown.
I do not believe that GT could give them treasury stock while in BK and without court approval. Does this sound right?
