I loved that thread where the guy was touting the molecules they pump into the lines and how they reduced friction or something or other. Good times.

No, he sold brands from whatever parts house he could buy from that week. He put in a lot of Amana/Goodman, he also installed Trane and Comfortmaker as well.
In HVAC (unlike roofing) all the equipment is serialized so they know exactly when it was made, shipped and sold. All his warranties will go based on the date he purchased the item from the supply house for 5 years. Notice I said when he bought it. To my knowledge he never carried inventory because I would see them in the local supply house filming their commercials as if they were in their own warehouse.

If the customer (or his office) registered the equipment with the manufacturer within 60 days of install then the residential customer would then have 10 year parts warranties. Anyone, including myself, can honor these part warranties.
I know he claimed on here to sell JB labor warranties and if that's the case the customer has to call JB with their account info and have him "released" from their account so they can call another JB approved dealer that could honor the labor warranty. I don't work for labor warranty companies but I've been told that is the process. JB tried to sell me on the fact that if I sold the warranty only I could honor the warranty unless I released the customer. Since he's gone under I believe it's a simpler release but still requires the call.

I try to live by the motto of "do honest work, charge a fair price and trust that the Lord will provide". I've been pretty blessed for more than a couple years now.
