Likewise, the incentive for other stakeholders to sue the trustees for not pursuing income needs to be balanced against the fact that they're suing an entity that's, y'know, bankrupt and unable to pay any judgement.
The trustees are likely to be a large commercial law+accounting firm - they are a common target for lawsuits, since it's the only way for other lower ranked creditors to get any money back
Then there is the wholly unfounded suggestion that they might receive some lucrative business from another operating system vendor (through a couple of middlemen) to keep this whole circus going.
