As offered, from time to time, on the Fool, in today's Shinyland, bankruptcy is not failure, it's a business plan. We see it the most in the PE model: get the company hip deep in debt, siphon all the money out with consulting fees, management fees,and fees fees. After all the borrowed money has been sucked out of the company, dump it into Chapter 7, and go looking for the next company to strip.
