When the conduct of a debtor, borrower, employee or business partner has been fraudulent or otherwise unlawful, a trust has been breached. Bringing an end to the unlawful conduct or securing remaining assets may require extensive legal action. It may also be necessary to examine the possibility of securing more assets by bringing lawsuits or taking further debt collection steps against the individuals behind the unlawful acts, trading partners, management members, advisors or other persons responsible.
