https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47373/799040_4.pdf

"The BSA cannot continue to address abuse litigation in the tort system on a case-by-case basis. The BSA spent more than $150 million on settlements and legal and related professional costs from 2017 through 2019 alone. In addition to the unsustainable financial cost of continuing to engage in piecemeal litigation across the country, continuing this process will result in the risk of inconsistent judicial outcomes and inequitable treatment of victims. For these reasons, beginning in late 2018, the BSA, with assistance of legal and financial advisors, began to explore strategic options for achieving an equitable global resolution of abuse claims."

IMHO,  BSA National will reach an inflection point where their legal expenses* exceed their victims' trust contribution before they run out of money.

My $0.02,

*legal expenses starting back in 2018 when BSA hired Sidley Austin

...it is no surprise that the mass tort trial lawyers are now in position— consistent with their sketchy shakedown playbook—to hold up the proceedings in exchange for a massive payday, that the costs of the proceedings themselves are skyrocketing, and that there is now a real risk that all of this will dilute the money available for the original victims whose claims were the impetus for the bankruptcy filing in the first place.[13]  For example, recent reports are that the bill for the Boy Scouts’s professionals and those hired by the official creditors’ committees will be more than $205 million, which is approaching the size of the trust for survivors that has been part of ongoing settlement discussions.  Experts have noted with alarm that the bills for lawyers and others in connection with the fraught proceedings are on a path to being more than 40% of the Boy Scouts of America’s self-reported assets, whereas in past mega-bankruptcies the fees are more like 2-3%, and certainly less than 10%.
