Ask HN: Paychecks from a Failed Startup

Hey – I was recently laid off from an early stage start up (Pre-Series A) and haven’t received my last two paychecks. Do I have any legal avenues to recoup these missed payments? I’ve opened a case with the state DOL office but I’m worried the company will fold / file for bankruptcy. Does anyone have a similar experience? Any luck getting missed paychecks? Should I attempt to sue the founder?
