==== As a creditor (or someone organizing creditors), you can request a Rule 2004 examination. But you cannot issue subpoenas or depose someone without court permission. ====

===== ### =====
* Gather emails, screenshots, statements showing: - Members were owed but not paid - Company promised payments or commissions - Assets (like the email list) existed - Assets were transferred to a “new” company
* Prepare a short declaration or summary of these facts to support your motion.

===== You (or a lawyer on behalf of the group) would file a motion with the court, asking: =====

: 

This motion should include:
* Why you believe assets may be hidden or misappropriated
* What documents you want (e.g., contracts, bank records, transfer logs, email list ownership, new company records)
* Who you want to examine (e.g., owner/operator, new company reps)

You do not need to prove fraud yet—just show there's a credible reason to investigate.

===== If the judge grants your motion: =====
* You’ll get an order authorizing the exam
* You can issue subpoenas for documents and/or testimony - If you’re not a lawyer, you’ll need to work with one to issue and enforce subpoenas - Alternatively, the trustee can issue them if they support your investigation
