LLCs aren't really relevant to this. The poster was commenting on bankruptcy laws with the assumption of familiarity. You can check out articles like https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10657-006-8978-..., but the gist is that bankruptcy in the US is forgiving versus being a terminal state in Europe. This is both in law and in society.
Once someone has gone bankrupt in Europe, they are historically, are a pariah. They will struggle to get financing to take a risk with another company. This is on top of a risk-averse system that generally places much higher requirements on non-bankrupt people seeking financing.
Compare this to the situation in the US. Here there is relatively easy access to financing at all sizes of organization. It only noticeably tightens when there is a recession or there are very serious issues with the founders. When a company fails there are more options for recovery, sell-off, acquisition, etc. Labor law permits companies to jettison all employees easily too in certain situations whereas that is much more difficult in Europe. Although this is starting to get away from pure bankruptcy law it overlaps.
This. In addition, in some countries like Germany, having your name connected to a bankruptcy will ruin your credit score, making it difficult to e.g. rent an apartment.
What does that mean? A BV protects you unless you pierce the veil. You are negligent or a malicious if you do so; otherwise it does protect you. But maybe you mean something else.
