At the recent creditor's meeting in Japan, he mentioned his plans to meet with potential purchasers of the bankrupt exchange's assets. This suggests the idea from the beginning may have been to sell Mt. Gox off to a company such as Sunlot or Bitocean Japan. If so, then the liquidation could be more or less Kabuki theater until such time as Kobayashi and company have finalized an acquisition. He presents himself as merely a neutral party representing the interests of creditors, yet in fact may have an agenda for what kind of outcome he wants to see.
Methinks you are barking up the wrong tree. Several people have been desperately trying to stop the bankruptcy process, since before it was filed, including many big clients and former MtGOX management. There are plenty of possible explanations for their despair. Sunlot has succeeded in stopping the US lawsuit, and all those people must now be pestering Kobayashi with proposals to let them take control. Sunlot has already promised immunity to Gay-Bouchery and Jed Mccaleb, and would not answer when asked what they would do about Mark.
