Good point, X. Not sure about North Carolina, but here in Tennessee, bankruptcy filings are accessible online. Every page, every form.

Might take some digging to find the correct site but it may be out there.

Xactly, just to learn how you manage to spend 20 MUSD in six months without building anything serious? If you have 50 employees,
all paid 200 000 a year, its still no more than 5 MUSD in that period of time.

Lease of building and a rented CNCs, computers, software and PeeWee's hotel and business flying, but still, where did the money go?

And what about Lopez who was suckered for 800 k just to find out there was not even a tub for a seat fitting, a lawsuit brewing?

That is not a complete tub, a carbon-fibre shell perhaps, poor Pechito must have been devastated when he saw what he had paid for.
