At first Judge Gross gave the old SCO management plenty of rope. After they had thoroughly tied themselves up, he handed control to Judge Cahn. I have no idea why Judge Gross did this, but it certainly wasn't out of any kindness for the old management.

Judge Cahn fleeced the old management for a couple of extra million. I am sure he loves them as much as any skilled poker player loves a mark.

The important question is: were these business records a threat to Judge Cahn. I am sure they are not a threat to Judge "What are they going to do, take me out back and shoot me?" Gross. I cannot see Cahn letting any ex-SCO manager near them if any evidence against him has not already been eaten by a wild dog. If such evidence used to exist, there will be a court order authorising destruction and the ex-SCO manager will get blamed instead of the dog.

The only way we could could see the records is if Judge Cahn feels safe and Groklaw wins a bidding war against everyone who needs secrets. Unless IBM join the bidding, that is not going to happen. IBM already have their barrel of flesh, and nothing to gain.
