DIP financing is probably the last piece of the puzzle to be put together before they go to court. FRNT will be back again once they file and that debt gets refinanced or is diluted.
Plausible. This is a game of brinksmanship, with creditors vs. potential acquiring company jockeying for best position in the final proceedings. Right now F9 can play hardball since the creditors have more to lose IMO...
