You really should speak with a bankruptcy attorney as soon as possible. Today if you can. All of your issues should get sorted out in the bankruptcy process. If you have properly set up the corporation and followed the laws regarding corporations, you should not be personally liable for the debt unless you acquired that debt personally. If your brothers are taking profits that they should not have been, that can be resolved in bankruptcy or a civil suit. Call me at 215-367-5110 and I will get you going in the right direction.
