None of this is relevant now, "under new management"

That is the big problem it seems. Some parts, property, and promises made by a business carry over to the new company owners. If a bank is bought by another bank, and that bank holds a mortgage on your property the contractual requirements for that mortgage do not change.

The big sticking point seems to be contractual in regards to the ninja-mined stake.

Off topic, If they record this MSP waves Town hall meeting it is pretty interesting. Sounds like people are beginning to think and make plans.
