No, absolutely not. Those funds are actually invested in other things....so, unless you had your 401 invested in the stock of this company (as many Enron people did) - which stock has likely become essesntialy worthless...your invested amounts are secure as an investment in todays world can be.

Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the banks may liquidate property and assets-except things that are explicitly protected. After this, most debts are forgiven-but not all, as certain debts do not qualify.
