THE DISTRESS DIGEST · WEEKLY · 7 ISSUES ARCHIVED

The Distress Digest, on the record

Each week the digest reports the public-record events we collected — bankruptcy and closure records and federal court dockets — plus a standing SBA loan watchlist. Each issue is archived here as sent.

Monitoring paused

Event collection has been paused since August 1, 2026. No issue is sent while it is paused, and issues marked below as sent during the pause reported zero events because nothing was being collected, not because nothing happened.
