The United States Trustee and The United States Attorney have advised the Court of a criminal prosecution which may be of interest to the bar. On April 15, 2009, a Georgia woman pled guilty in federal court in Columbia to one count of making false statements in a bankruptcy petition. The debtor failed to disclose previous bankruptcy cases and that she was the subject of an order barring her from filing further cases. The United States Attorney continues to investigate and prosecute other cases of alleged bankruptcy fraud. A copy of the press release is attached.
