Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This scenario suggests that Rob has committed fraud by using Solar Fuel's assets for personal expenses, creating a new company to engage in the same business, and transferring Solar Fuel's assets to the new company. By petitioning Solar Fuel into bankruptcy, Rob is essentially abandoning the company and leaving its creditors with no recourse for repayment. This warrants a pierce of the corporate veil, meaning that Rob will be held personally liable for the company's debts and obligations. A bonus or discharge is not appropriate in this situation, and reviewing Thermal Power's articles of incorporation alone would not address the fraudulent actions of Rob.
