Does anybody have any info on this?

Thanks!

I think it's unfair to say that Delta killed Pan Am!! There's a stronger argument to be made that Pan Am committed suicide.

Pan Am really is dead. Some of its assets live on, but the airline is dead. Sure the creditors will benefit from a settlement, but not Pan Am.
