In 2005, it was reported that Stockman handed control of the fund, Heartland Industrial Partners, over to his partners following his resignation as chairman of Collins & Aikman, which was a major investment for the fund that ended in bankruptcy.[5]

On March 26, 2007, federal prosecutors in

CEO of Collins & Aikman.[6] Stockman suffered a personal financial loss, estimated at $13 million, along with losses suffered by as many as 15,000 Collins & Aikman employees worldwide. Stockman said in a statement posted on his law firm's Web site that the company's collapse was the consequence of an industry melt-down, not fraud.[7] In August 2008, a trial date was set[8]
but on January 9, 2009, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced that it did not intend to prosecute Stockman in this case.
