I’m not complete sure what your question is. Generally a court does not consider evidence on a motion to dismiss but rather the sufficiency of the complaint itself.

I thought I had to be served in person? Nothing was attached to my door. Both the summons and copy were sent by mail. How long do I have to respond?
answered on Aug 29, 2023

They could be. Yes. You need to file a proof of claim for the wages in the bankruptcy. You should also consult a bankruptcy lawyer regarding a possible adversarial proceeding based on fraud that you might file against the company within the bankruptcy.
