  - The SH families deferred money so that the TX families got more, and apparently there's some ambiguity in who gets how much, which is what the judge - Reagen Dec 11, 10:19
  - They would have gotten more from The Onion as they offered some kind of sweetener that would raise it to $7m. The judge said both offers were too low - Krusty Dec 11, 10:03 2
    - The judgment in favor of the families is so huge they can beat any offer just by using their debt to pay it. It would barely make a dent in the - pmb Dec 11, 10:19 1
      - I do hope the families get what's coming to them while also allowing The Onion to take control of everything. -- nm - Krusty Dec 11, 10:27

        how tf does BK derive from "bankruptcy" Why couldn't you just say bankruptcy?! -- nm - mud Dec 11, 09:14 2
