How could she become a bankrupt pauper when she could tap into her huge enthusiastic national network of supporters to provide the financial horsepower to overcome the legal issues?
When I visited Alaska last year I talked to a lot of folks, and most seemed unhappy because she quit, that it did not reflect well on her. I’ve been shredded on FR by the Palin Brigade for saying this, but it’s what my small sample found.
These were people who generally spoke positively of Parnell.
If you'd take the courtesy to read the real story, rather than repeating leftist narratives that aren't true, you'd discover that she was barred from setting up a legal defense fund or receiving donations.

Who did you talk to? Palin really didn't have a choice. Her political enemies were using her own ethics laws against her. It was either stay in office, and be bankrupt & politically radioactive in the process, or quit and fight the bastards on her terms. I applaud Palin for quitting. It shows her vision and strategy. IMO she is one of the most gifted politicians of all time.
