IMO the council must be advising Sam based on the belief that they will get paid for their services. I believe that in order to save the patents they must prevent the bankruptcy. If that were to happen, PL might not be on the BOD. IMO this all comes down to who had the right to run xmdc. If PL is found to not been in that position, then the conveyence of the patents may be found to have been illegal. That might explain why PL's lawyers bowed out. Remember they indicated they didn't know who to take orders from.
IMO if the BK is stopped, it probably means Sam will be in charge. If that happens, then Paul & Ben may have to compromise in the settlement. If we get to this stage I believe the stock will run if Sam puts out any good forward looking PR. There are too many entanglements for a severence of Sam from xmdc. These are just my opinions and why I believe this will turn out okay.
