to fight back. More pressing questions, however, concern the breadth of this protection
in nonconsensual debt restructurings. Should the TIA protect the ability, and not merely
the formal right, to receive payment in some circumstances? Is it limited to conduct
that disenfranchises the minority, or does it have broader uses as a weapon against
unilateral conduct by the issuer that hurts bondholders’ recovery?
