Case update
Sonder: the last asset was the name
The leases went in December, the furniture with them, and by January the bankrupt Canadian Sonder entities had nothing material left but domain names and trademarks. Selling them meant running a solicitation process the estates' own inspectors were disqualified from touching — because the party they represent was one of the bidders the trustee intended to approach.
