    I have never seen that happen. I have only seen companies get bailed out. It’s been decades since a giant insolvent company was split apart and sold for pennies on the dollar. They just enough money to buy financially solvent competition

      I don’t mean giant companies exclusively, I mean all of them. If the owners have a decent accountant and lawyer, the company will bankrupt and the owners will end up richer.

      And I don’t mean selling the company on pennies, I mean hollowing the company then letting it turn into dust.
