 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</description></item></channel></rss>
