That sucks as they used to make so e of the best ram around and I thought that everything was going ok.

Isn't Toshiba buying them?
I've read that their SSDs have had less than stellar reliability. It would be surprising if Toshiba made a last minute buy-out. Going after the assets after bankruptcy is generally what happens as any warranty liability is erased. Bad for customers, but good for business. Expect some holiday fire sales on their drives if this happens.
I suspect they will pick up the patents and designs (not all of them sucked) while letting the rest disappear.

They also made some nice PSUs. Still can't believe they won't be around. Even if the Toshiba or whoever buys them, I can't imagine the name staying for too long.
I own four of their drives (all Vertex 4; 128GB x2, 256GB x1, 512GB x1) and haven't had any problems. I think the issue was with their earlier drives. It's sad to see them go as they did a lot to help push the price of competitor's SSDs down.
A slow collapse of the global economy isn't helping right now, even my own sales (I sell computers on the side) are stagnate 😢

I expect their patents and other intellectual property are worth far more to a potential bidder than their product lines. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Apple, Google, or Microsoft in there fighting for a piece of the pie seeing as how they are always looking for new patents to add to their portfolios so they can file more lawsuits against each other.
