JMO, the pre shareholders had/has a lot more to lose than the post shareholders. If a settlement has been reached for Shareholders period, why would they be sealed?
A Share is NOT a Share , is NOT a share, as you put it. NOT in the case.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave
safely in a well-preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn-out, shouting,
'Holy shit! What a ride!'
