I think most creditor attorney's wouldn't think to ask carefully about crypto holdings in self custody during a bankruptcy proceeding or other debt collection operation. This is going to change though. Typically you subpoena all places where money tends to be, increasingly that includes crypto custodians. But asking carefully about crypto in self custody is conspiciously absent. Admitted, in Bankruptcy the debtor should disclose all such assets but some try to hide things. But the bar of bankruptcy creditor lawyers is aged and they have no clue what's going on. Don't lie on your bankruptcy forms but if you're a creditor, remind your lawyer to seek the private keys.

Generally speaking, if an llc files bankruptcy are personal savings used to pay debts?
Impossible to say. Depends a lot on the nature of the business how it’s organized and the debts at issue. More often then not in my experience individuals personally guarantee debts of their businesses since most banks won’t extend credit to a startup without someone’s neck on the line
