In bankruptcy the only people to truly get paid are:

Secured Creditors
Attorneys
CPA/Accountants hired for Forensic Account purposes
Employees who wind down the business
"Experts" in bankruptcy wind-down operations (Usually these are the experts who know how to maximize value of the bankruptcy estate)
