hiya,

what term( I mean what adjective) would you use for  somebody who- for instance- invested on purcheasing something and then some thign has gone wrong and he no longer could have his money back nor the thing he has invested on.

I am kooing for adjectives more accurate than " destroyed, bankrupt,.."

 

thanks for your considerations
