=== Assistant: Yes — absolutely. ===
Yes — absolutely. Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy law, a company like DE Marketing LLC is legally required to disclose all financial records, including accounting books.

Here’s what that means in practical and legal terms:

==== ### ====
# Turn over books, records, and documents related to: - Income and expenses - Assets and liabilities - Transfers of property - Business operations, especially within the last 2 years
# Provide these to the trustee (Ronald J. Sommers) for review
# Submit financial statements or tax returns that reflect business activity — often including: - General ledger - Profit and loss statements - Bank statements - Invoices, affiliate records, and payment logs - Any QuickBooks or accounting software exports

==== Failure to disclose accounting records or books may be considered: ====
* Bankruptcy fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 157
* Concealment of assets under 11 U.S.C. § 727(a)(3) or (a)(4)
* Grounds to deny discharge, and potentially even criminal referral

The trustee has the power to issue subpoenas or compel turnover of records — and can request a Rule 2004 examination to investigate the company's operations, asset transfers, or successor businesses (like Clickerr).

==== If you and the group suspect that: ====
* Accounting books have not been turned over
* Payments or revenue were concealed
* No schedules show how commissions were calculated

Then that’s valuable evidence to submit to the trustee. It supports your claim that this case needs deeper review and likely a forensic accounting audit.

Let me know if you want a formal template request letter asking the trustee to review the accounting records — especially affiliate ledgers and unpaid commission balances.
