Reynen & Bardis co-founder files personal bankruptcy

``Reynen had personally guaranteed money lent to the development and home-building company he founded with Christo Bardis and secured those loans with his personal property. Bank of the West had been pursuing recovery of those personal assets. A window that would allow a bankruptcy court to set aside attachments on that property -- presumably for the benefit of all the company's creditors -- was set to expire Thursday.''
