All gone, I'd assume. Maybe they'll get a small part of whatever the receivers get back from the company - but that's 10p on the pound at best, and I doubt Vulpine have anything close to £1m of assets on hand.
I'd feel a lot worse for Nick had he not fucked up the initial £1m investment, seen that the company was going down the toilet, and done his best to get more money out of people in the second crowdcube before the shit hit the fan publicly. I don't think that speaks for his integrity in this situation - it seems to me more like a desperate, don't care who gets burned attempt to keep the very wobbly wheels on.
With hindsight - even very recently there were some extraordinarily questionable business decisions being made. The magazine they produced at great expense? Those two bleedingly expensive August bicycles the founders bought? Were I an investor, I'd be fucking livid!
