    A complicating factor here is that the Sandy Hook families (who as far as I know are the large majority of the creditors) also supported the sale.

    I assume there are other creditors who didn’t?

      AFAIK the damages paid to the Sandy Hook families were the sole reason he went bankrupt in the first place; without them he’d be profiting.
