On the issue of a settlement, it must not be forgotten that management does not automaticlly get 10%. The amount is up to a three member panel. Granted, one would think the panel will allow the full 10% since the three members are all members of kry's BOD and buddies with Fung. But it is still theoretically possible that they will award less than the 10%. And therein lies the worst problem with the 10%, namely, the people who will decide it are not neutral parties, and that is a huge miske Judge N. made in allowing such a prejudiced panel to decide this significant issue. Possibly if there is a settlement, someone (like me) will move the court for reconsideration of the issue, pointing out the lack of objectivity by the panel and requesting a truly neutral panel.
