This is not news, it’s been known for quite sometime about the financial issues the company has been having, like most automotive startups, most fold within a few years. Also this won’t be the first time the owner has will have filled for bankruptcy if this one folds too, the last automotive company he owned also filed for bankruptcy.
You’re not entirely wrong. Yes, there’s been trouble for a while but the latest hope was to get Nissan to buy in/them out and add some power to what is, essentially, a decent product. Those talks fell through in the last few days and it has now moved from Fisker might end up in trouble to Fisker are definitely there.
Yes the owner has a past record but if you look at most entrepreneurs you’ll find companies going under or being sold off before going broke. Branson was quite well known for it in the 70s but has done ok for himself.

I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
