re: "I thought we were trying to be made whole, for the defendants sins of the past."
Yes, that's the idea.
Actually, "we"/"us" in the sense that we are current unitholders. Actually, it is the Trust that needs to be made whole. I think that one way it is like a corporation *(though not in certain other ways in regard to certain details of case law), is that it is similarly a legally created entity with the status of a "person".
The legal enity, "person", MOSH has been financially abused over the years. Establishing the idea of holding auction at this time as a very bad business decision would serve to underscore that the pattern of abuse continues,imo.
