Judge Moves Auction Date to August 4th
Interesting nugget at the end: "Greenberg-Ryan will receive a $15 million 'breakup' fee if it loses, Lynn said, to cover their expenses to date and 'partly to shut them up' -- in other words, forestalling possible legal action." Sounds like Judge Lynn is tired of everyone involved in This Thing.
