Robert Kiyosaki is not brankrupt, a company Rich Dad in which he's co-owner is. Robert Kiyosaki has more than $50 million in his bank account not counting his assets and Learning Annex can't touch that.

I don't think he's poor. The bankruptcy thing is just a way to avoid paying. Kiyosaki knows how to shield assets and minimize liabilities by using corporations (they're in his books).

Filing for bankruptcy is a clever way to shield his assets. It's one of the tricks the rich employ as detailed in his book. He's just following his book's advice to the letter.

Selective reading. You forgot to read the bold part.

The financial guru behind New York Times bestseller Rich Dad, Poor Dad has filed for bankruptcy on one of his companies after losing a $24 million judgement.

BBI will solve it

The story in the Business Daily on Russel Wasendorf was a fascinating read. Ooh the wiles of money so entrapping; like a beer bottle to an alcoholic or a seductive woman to a permissive man...
http://www.reuters.com/article/...ne-idUSBRE88N0EJ20120924


Quote:
A small town Iowa boy, raised in hard times by a widowed mother, starts a business in the back room of a barber shop before setting out to the big city. He strikees it rich and returns years later to local glory, spending lavishly and savouring his role as the big man in a little town.

It's a real story, but as became clear this summer, a dark thread ran through it. For most of the two-decade life of Peregrine Financial Group, a leading independent futures brokerage, founder and chief executive Russell Wasendorf Sr. was taking hundreds of millions of dollars of his customers' money to cover losses and live large.

His dual life came to light after Wasendorf, 64, tried to commit suicide outside his headquarters in July. Authorities discovered a four-page confession letter describing how he used a post-office box, a scanner and basic software to hide his theft for years. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission accused him of making off with more than $200 million of customer money. Last week, he pleaded guilty to mail fraud, lying to regulators and embezzling customer funds, crimes that could put him in jail for 50 years.

As @ Juggernaut says,filing for bankruptcy is one way to keep off creditors from liquidating a company which is in some temporal financial distress.Under the protection cover of bankruptcy,the company can re-organize itself, of course without putting the interest of creditors at risk, and then have the order lifted when the house is in order.

Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.
