Rich Dad Poor Dad goes BK

I just saw in the news the other day that the author of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series Robert Kiyosaki just filed for BK via one of his corporations.  I'm sharing an exert of the full article


However, Kiyosaki isn't taking after his poor dad's title just yet. Though Rich Global LLC has filed for bankruptcy, he reportedly conducts business through a number of corporations, including Rich Dad Co.
Mike Sullivan, CEO of Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Co., told the Post, "The dealings we had with Learning Annex were with a company that hasn't been in business for a number of years . . . I am not surprised Learning Annex is upset and angry, the money doesn't exist in that company, and we can't bring money out of the group.
"Robert and [wife] Kim are not paying out of personal assets. We have a few million dollars in this company, but not 16 or 20. I can't do anything about a $20 million judgment . . . We got hit for what we think is a completely outlandish figure."
Rich Global LLC's liabilities are nearly $26 million with assets of $1.8 million, according to its bankruptcy filing. Its biggest creditor is the Learning Annex due to its $23.7 million legal claim.
The meeting of creditors was held on Sept. 26 and the deadline for creditors to file claims is Jan. 2., according to the Executive Office for U.S. Trustees.

As a real estate investor, entrepreneur or business person this should catch your attention to understand why he isn't paying out of personal assets....
