1Opinion of the Court
KOZINSKI, Circuit Judge:
The Northern California Motor Car Dealers Association Trust, an ERISA trust, is obligated by its contract with General American Insurance Company to reimburse General over four million dollars. Unfortunately, it looks like the trust will come up three million .dollars short. We are faced with two questions: First, can General sue not only for breach of contract but also for fraud, based on misrepresentations the trust’s agent allegedly made when he was negotiating an extension of the contract? And, second, are the trustees personally liable for the trust’s obligations?
