I assume you know if Amzn goes busto you won't have to pay any capital gains on your profit? That's not strictly true, although you can usually defer the gain for several years. Eventually, the stock of a bankrupt company gets officially declared "worthless", and at that point you are supposed to declare the gain.

Only those holding a signed UCC document get a crack at the assets. Suppliers typically don't, until you become a credit risk then they might demand it. James, We are talking hundreds of millions in owed to suppliers in Q4. I can almost assure you they will be requiring a signed UCC. Amazon management will not care. They are not holding the bonds.
