If the subpoena revealed no bank account, then you can try to guess by subpoeneaing banks near this company and hope that perhaps one of these will give you what you need. Otherwise, if you done business with this company involving monies to and from your bank, check cancelled checks or wire information or subpoena your bank for records. A judgment can last many years (up to 10 usually) so just keep looking for personal liability (individual's property, bank accounts).
