    Bankruptcy is a legal process that allows individuals and businesses to resolve outstanding debts owed to creditors while offering them some protection during the process. There are restrictions on the types of bankruptcy you’re allowed to file. How you file depends on whether you are an individual or a business, your level of income, and the kind of debt you have.

    A former director of a once prominent meat exporting firm, currently under liquidation, was arrested last month for allegedly swindling money taken as loan in the name of the company and selling homes on mortgaged land, the Delhi Police said on Wednesday.

    The police identified the accused as Moshin Mohammad, the former director of MK Overseas Private Limited.

    In 2021, Yes Bank had filed a police complaint against MK Overseas, accusing it of taking loans worth Rs 95 crore in 2016. Using the money, Moshin allegedly constructed flats on company-owned land that he had mortgaged to Yes Bank while taking the loan.

For some, learning they are the 10th cousin of Paul Revere or the 15th great nephew four times removed of the last King of Prussia is worth the perceived risk of sharing a DNA sample. But what happens when the company harvesting the DNA goes bankrupt? 

    That was the question posed to millions of Americans last week when 23andMe, the company that popularized consumer genetic testing and had early backing from Google, filed for bankruptcy, leading to a wave of calls for Americans to delete their DNA from the company’s…

    The Dutch fashion chain Gerry Weber has been declared bankrupt by the court in Amsterdam on April 2, 2025, marking a significant downturn for the company that has been facing financial difficulties for some time. The bankruptcy comes after the company had already requested a suspension of payments earlier this week, indicating the severity of its financial situation.

    According to curator Marc van Zanten, there is a “very real chance of a restart of the Dutch branch of the retail chain in the short term.” This optimistic outlook is bolstered by the fact that all 38 stores in the Netherlands will remain open for the next six weeks, allowing for potential buyers to assess the business.
