Book Description

An estimated ten percent of bankruptcy cases involve some kind of abuse or fraud. Since launching Operation Total Disclosure in 1992, the U.S. Department of Justice has endeavored to send the message that bankruptcy fraud will not be tolerated. Bankruptcy judges and trustees are required to report suspected bankruptcy crimes to a U.S. attorney. The decision to prosecute is based on the level of loss or injury, the existence of sufficient evidence, and the clarity of the law. In some cases, civil penalties for fraud are deemed sufficient to punish and deter.

5 out of 5 stars From A Lawyer's Perspective.......2000-09-15

Bankruptcy Crimes provides a wake-up call to the bankruptcy bar that there may be criminal law consequences based on their advice given and actions taken in the planning and conduct of a bankruptcy case. In an easy to read and well organized format, Bankruptcy Crimes provides bankruptcy practitioners with an authoritative primer of what they need to know and what they need to advise their clients in order to avoid running afoul of the criminal rules that govern the conduct of those who participate in bankruptcy cases. An outstanding career both in and out of government has made Stephanie Wickouski equally conversant with the federal bankruptcy and criminal codes and enabled her in Bankruptcy Crimes to provide unique legal insights and real world advice for lawyers confronting criminal law questions in the bankruptcy context. Bankruptcy Crimes is an essential reference tool for lawyers representing clients accused of bankruptcy crimes, for bankruptcy fiduciaries charged with notifying law enforcement of criminal conduct and for lawyers seeking practical guidance for the difficult legal and ethical issues they often face in advising clients in financially distressed situations.
