I really hope that you guys are able to find a way around the bankruptcy and get your money or some of it back.
I know in North Carolina once they declare bankruptcy, they arent legally responsible for anything. You cant even sue the owners by name in civil court because everything you purchased was from that LLC.
Bankruptcy is federal law- same in all states. The above is not quite accurate. There is pretty clear fraud here and there are exceptions to bankruptcy for fraud. It will take some work, but if someone is dedicated and wants to spend the money to litigate, the owners will have a hard time escaping free of debt.
