About

I’m George Karpenko, and I run Padlock Report. I cover companies that go under: administrations, liquidations, receiverships and bankruptcies, mostly in Australia, the UK, Canada, New Zealand and the US. I write for the people left holding the problem: customers with a deposit or an order, staff, suppliers and landlords.

Every story says who is in charge of the company now, what is known about money owed and what the next dated step is, and it links to its sources. How I check facts and fix mistakes is in the editorial standards. Before Padlock Report, I spent ten years building mobile apps.
