Scam

I paid over 24k to a company for what was supposed to be for debt consolidation.  Years later i found out that the company, LPG Financial did nothing with my det along with many others and just pocketed our monies.  They have since filed for bankruptcy.   As such I (along with many others) are out all of the monies that were paid and still left with the original debt and lawsuits associated with that debt.  Is there anything in the current tax laws that will allow for this type of scam/situation to be factored into income tax filings.
