He's probably referring more specifically to class action lawsuits, where it can take years to reach a settlement. The funds may not necessarily cover 100% of the amount due to the plaintiffs, and then a large slice of those funds are eaten up by lawyers fees. If the company is on the brink of collapse you could be lucky to see cents in the dollar.
