You can claim adverse but the conditions are set, you just can't throw up a tent in the woods and make a claim. You have to have worked the land basically, occupied in a open manner over a set period of time, be there for a lengthy period of time, and you can't just be an occupy group,

By the time you squat and then go through the courts, you're broke

There's no need for the actual owner to be bankrupt or to lack title for adverse possession to apply, at least not under common law (which can obviously be altered by statute). That last section you quoted lays it out pretty well, the one thing that people may miss from it is that the occupation has to be adverse, which is why they refer to the occupier as a trespasser. An adverse possession claim is defeated by the simple act of granting permission.
