Actually they'd be suing JONAT which I believe is incorporated as a
non-profit. We have no assets worth messing with, so it would be a waste of
time. They could try to sue individuals, but unless one of the defendants
was totally negligent, it would be thrown out quickly. If one of us screwed
up royally, they would be on the hook, but the plaintiff would have to prove
there was an intent to cause harm or a complete lack of diligence in
planning and execution.

JONAT could help with the legal bills of an SC, but chances are they would
be named in any suit brought against an SC, so what little money they have
would be gone quick.
