It is also possible for a company to buy some or all of the assets of a company and to assume some of the known liabilities. This probably leaves the problems you mention with the original company but I am not sure.
I had a small corporation that owed me roughly 50,000. I discovered they were trying to sell the business. I discovered they could sell the business and simply avoid paying me and others in my same position. I sued them, I got the money owed me. I did not get my atty paid so I lost about 1/3 of what was owed.

Naive, perhaps-there is right there is wrong then there is legal.
The me too movement. What do all the guys have in common?
Deep pockets. All poor guys are saints?
