somebody move to intervene, and offer to pay
Authored by: IANALitj on Monday, February 04 2013 @ 03:38 AM EST
I urge PJ, or somebody, to move to intervene, and offer to pay. One objection
to having PJ personally do so is that she would probably lose her anonymity.

I think that we could get at least an offer of ten thousand dollars onto the
table, which would be enough for the court to take notice.

Kickstarter might be an appropriate mechanism for raising that much or more, but
that would take time. I think that asking for pledges on Groklaw would be
enough to persuade someone to make the motion and the offer individually. I'll
pledge my fair share, up to one thousand dollars. (That way, if more people
make pledges, I'll be able to pay less. For example, if twenty people make
similar pledges of at least five hundred dollars apiece, my share would go down
to five hundred dollars.)

Just as the Trustee points out that there are costs involved with storing the
Obsolete Property (as he calls it), there would be costs involved in buying it.
Rather than paying shipping costs, the easy solution would be for the purchaser
to take over the rental of the storage units in Utah that are currently in use.
A provision to that effect would be good to include in the offer. If for some
reason that is unsatisfactory to the Trustee (for example because Obsolete
Property is mixed with other property that is not considered obsolete), the
offer should include other transfer of possession as an alternative.

The deadline for filing objections to this proposal is February 15, the end of
the next working week. Whoever acts on this will probably need a Delaware
lawyer.
