interesting

and indeed the GOV would be able to create the impression of win win with such a "cohort of the abused" approach

but - I think - I guess - by law - such an agreement is great but not sufficient

those who own equity now - bought it from others who owned it and sold it

equity - today 3-23-2014 - either owns 20% or so (or 100%) of a private company and deserve compensation if wound down or not

no one but a court can say that current owners do not own 20% of a private company or more (say 20% plus all the money over the 10% paid under amendment 3)

To summarize
Gov can do what you said - but I fail to see how that impacts facts or lack of facts on the ground - 20% of equity is held privately - and the GOV noted and talked about future owners and value at the time of the takeover

If the GOV wants to separately give money to the prior owners (and I will find my records) great - but it is IMO additive to the end decision which still must be reached and which and Ackman has the resources to pursue
