When a company declares bankruptcy, the investors may lose their entire investment depending on the type of bankruptcy and the structure of the company. However, unless Jason has personally guaranteed any of the company's debts, he should not lose more than his initial investment. Therefore, he could lose up to his total investment of 800 000.
