But the broader point about lawsuits not being free is valid. Because in addition to filing fees, you need to pay lawyers to do this. And I am not a lawyer, but I don't know many good lawyers would would take on a case to go after a bankrupt company that has no assets. And even then, those good lawyers are going to want a retainer and multi-hundred dollar an hour fees to do the work, so sure. File a lawsuit. Spend tens of thousands of dollars to get a judgment that the defendant can't pay. What good does that do?
Like, to be clear, if you have more money than God and want to spend time making a point, I'm all for it. You do you. But most people don't have that much money or time to piss away when there is nothing to be gained from the exercise.
It would never go to a jury. The claims of fraud to penetrate limited liability would be thrown out by the judge for having no legal grounding, then they would be stuck suing a limited liability company with no money.
