So, it's a trucking company that was going bankrupt and the driver was a semi truck driver, and it might have been wages.

Because I immediately thought of a CEO getting merc'd by their chauffeur...

It's a trucking company that the CEO lied was going bankrupt, as an excuse not to pay a cancer-stricken trucker.

There are no records of ATG Truckload formally filing for bankruptcy.

Not trying to defend the company or CEO.

It's just very different than the image the headline paints

bankruptcy proceedings are the last step. you can be insolvent for a minute or two first.

also, in no way defending the CEO, I know nothing about the situation.
