And sometimes you’ll also find in the federal system an occasional bankruptcy fraud case that’s brought, and it’s always a person who is filing bankruptcy who fails to include — disclose assets, things like that; they’re trying to hide assets. Or the allegation could be they’re overstating what their situation is as far as liabilities go — in other words, trying to defraud the Bankruptcy Court in some manner, whether it’s trying to get a discharge of debt or by the fact that they have fewer assets than they really do or that they have more liabilities. You’ll often find a situation where you’ll have someone who’s alleged to have committed bankruptcy fraud to have just simply or purposely left out a number of assets, who are just trying to hide assets and use bankruptcy as a screen or as a hiding mechanism to either just maintain debt — maintain assets or to get out of debts that are hanging over their head.
