"This decision ... raises significant concern about whether this rationale will be adopted by other jurisdictions, and how far fund multiemployer plan trustees and the courts will go to find prey to feed a multiemployer plan when a participating employer cannot satisfy its withdrawal liability. Further, given that the PBGC regulation also applies to single employer pension plans, this decision raises concern about how the PBGC might react to this decision, and how far the PBGC may go to seek prey for underfunded single employer pension plans it has taken over." [Sun Capital Partners III, LP, et al. v. New England Teamsters & Trucking Industry Pension Fund, No. 10-10921 (D. Mass. Mar. 28, 2016)]
