To anyone on the thread, what is the consequence of personal bankruptcy in all its flavors in the US? In Hong Kong we still have debtor's prison, a fine and traditional British institution that really keeps debt performing. Something to be said for British common law.

Once upon a time a major US oil company refused to pay one of our business bills and its CEO refused to take my partner's phone calls. It took us less than 2 days to prove our case to a judge who then issued a wind-up order for the entire Asia company of the not-to-be mention oil company. The CEO then got on the phone with my partner in a hurry, as if a nuclear bomb was about to go off under his seat:0)

Chugs, Jay
