This appeared on theonering.net recently as well. The Estate was less of a problem - they just needed more money thrown at them. However, if there is no money...
Yes, but it's Warner Bros. (who now own New Line) that settled with the Tolkien Estate. The Hobbit movies are being made by MGM. MGM's lack of money won't prevent the settlement and might just lead to Warner Bros. buying the rights to The Hobbit.
