nice try. shares are not wiped out in a bankrupty. Kmart went threw a bankrupty and the share holders still own the bankrupt company. Donald trump went threw bankrupty and still owns trumptower. The only way the company goes threw bankrupty and the share holders do not retain the assets of the company is if the bank takes the assets and than frank still gets nothing. yes i only listed one publicly traded company and one private comany but if you would like to continue to waist my time with ignorant posts such as the last one (which was your third insult toward me today) than i have plenty others i can list. TWA, UNITED, BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD, ALLSTATE, entergy, broadvision, target, taco bell (now a division of yum yum but the share holders were bought out) GE, Ford, GM, Nintendo of america, Sears, Star gas partners, if you like i can post more. just let me know.
