There was a YouTube livestream last night (which I only found out about today) going over the state of play at LotFP and how the sale of new books is going.
In short it looks as though James Raggi is cautiously optimistic and somewhat overwhelmed. Fan response was extremely strong and they made a lot of sales, although at this point he only has gross figures so doesn't yet know if the debts are cleared already. The gambit of putting up several new titles, along with a substantial anthology of older material, and some very limited extras clearly worked. One of the books was even explicitly priced as a fundraiser, selling for more than its actual value in order to generate extra funds, and with an optional slipcase going for a matching sum: the slipcases have already sold out.
Time will tell, but if this means that the products he has in the pipeline can go ahead then things might not be entirely bleak.
