In the US, the usual bankruptcy rules allow regulators and courts to hold a bankrupt company’s operations together long enough to determine if the firm is worth more dead than alive. The law stops creditors from grabbing assets after the company enters bankruptcy, and it recalls many payments made to favored creditors in the 90 days before bankruptcy was declared, so that all creditors facilitate the firm’s survival.
在美国，普通破产规则允许监管者和法庭维持破产公司的经营，直到确定该公司破产要比活下去更有价值。破产法禁止债权人在公司进入破产程序后抢夺公司资产，并会召回大量在破产宣布前90天内有利于债权人的债务偿付，以便让所有债权人都作出努力让公司生存下去。
