Anyone who still has money with them needs to get the ball rolling. You'll be so low on the list of people who get paid out if they go under that you'll never get a dime. If you have to eat a restocking fee, do it. Something's better than nothing. Run, dammit, run.
Like I said, if you take money from someone knowing that you will not be able to deliver said product it may be considered fraud.( you keep taking orders knowing you intend on filing for bankruptcy) Perhaps people should be doing the following things:
1) filing complaints with the California Division of Consumer Affairs for a start
2) filing a complaint with the small claims court in the county your in for the cost of your deposit (usually it costs $15-$25 to file on your own, no lawyer needed.)
3) Seeking guidance from the State Attorney Generals office if there is a large enough loss of money and it can be considered criminal. Im not sure what the specific laws would be in CA.
