"Let me emphasis the court has no opinion and makes no prognostication about the ultimate outcome or amount of value that it will be able to be realized in this case," Jones said. "In reaching its decision today the court has made no conclusion that equity will end up out of the money and in fact the court would be more than delighted if ongoing work and future developments yield additional reasons to believe that equity holders may emerge in the money. But as of today the movements have not carrier their burden of establishing a sufficient likelihood of such a happy outcome."
