"“It’s clear their debt exceeds their assets,” Hawaii Chief District Judge J. Michael Seabright said..."

Now, for the REST of us, WE'D have to file bankruptcy when this situation occurs as this is exactly what bankruptcy is for but, apparently, this fine judge chooses that WE bankroll their legal fees DESPITE blatant evidence of wrongdoing.  Maybe if they WERE forced to play by OUR same financial rules, the cash for the payments they're making on their million plus dollar house would then be freed up for them TO pay for their OWN legal fees.  That's how it works for the REST of us.  BLIND/unchecked favoritism is what has CAUSED this mess in the first place and now there's just more of it.
