Structured bankruptcy is not the cataclysmic event CEOs and major shareholders want you to believe.

I know a startup that declared bankruptcy and "sold" to another organization... owned by the startup holders... to avoid paying debt.

It's all a game to take more money out of taxpayers.

I'm not advocating for doing illegal things, but I will say that way more people and organizations are doing it and getting away with it than are caught.
