What is Bankruptcy Fraud?

Bankruptcy fraud is defined as concealment, misrepresentation, or otherwise any form of deception related to filing for bankruptcy. Although this type of fraud is a white-collar crime, it is considered a federal offense in every state.

Common forms of bankruptcy fraud include:

  • Concealing assets by transferring them to family or friends
  • Intentionally filing forms using false or misleading information
  • Filing for bankruptcy multiple times
  • Committing trustee fraud by bribing the trustee to gain a more favorable outcome in bankruptcy court
  • Running a debt rescue and foreclosure relief scheme

Penalties for Bankruptcy Fraud

All forms of bankruptcy fraud are punishable by a federal prison sentence of up to five years and a maximum fine of $250,000. Due to the severity of the penalties you may face, it is in your best interest to hire an experienced federal crime attorney to defend you.
