puppy, once they went into chapter 11, I pretty much had already assumed the shareholders would lose everything. There just isn't enough money or assets to go around. Shareholders are always the lowest rung on the ladder, which seems contradictory, considering it's the SEC's job to protect the shareholders. If they're so interested in protecting the shareholders, you would think they would be paid first, if not in full, at least a percentage of what they lost. I know the argument that shareholders had plenty of warnings about SPNG, but that's not the point. I'm looking at it from the viewpoint of what the SEC's credo is. Oh well.

They also could be trying to belatedly characterize illegal kickbacks as loans; just as it was suggested may be the case with Pike.

why would Doug Furth, Steven Hess or David Pilond be creditors?

the only way is if they gave money to the insiders for some unauthorized DIP plan .. and that money will be attached in the bk

regular share holders will get zip ..
