Ah, but was Dave one of the officers of the corporation?  Or just an
employee?

If he was the latter, then he likely isn't considered legally
responsible for any of the company's debts.

If he _was_ an officer, then it's entirely possible that the story is
not yet complete.

You can almost certainly find instances of virtually any sort of
situation you wish to; figuring out which scenarios are actually common
and typical is not a trivial matter.
