The ownership of anything in the company is with the shareholders NOW!! IMO In the previous structure with a board, shareholders received just the benefit of share price. (Simplistic explanation) Now that the BOD is vacant officially, the ownership is with the shareholders and a majority controls anything from this point. The PPS needed to be controlled just as manipulation was used since 2018. Shareholders!!!
And you can eliminate that last "possibility" if you consider that nothing that occurs during a bankruptcy that affects the company's financial condition is not disclosed, and nothing happens to a company that has filed for bankruptcy that the court does not approve. No secret or side deals occur whatsoever, and when a company is completely liquidated and goes out of business, there are no deals whatsoever. There's nobody to make a deal with.
