Bankruptcy Fraud

Bankruptcy fraud is committed when a person or company fraudulently petitions for bankruptcy or provides false information when petitioning for bankruptcy.  When people file for bankruptcy, they are essentially stating that they do not possess the financial ability to repay their creditors.  In order to have their bankruptcies approved, people must meet certain terms and provide accurate financial information and records.  If people provide inaccurate records, or file for bankruptcy just because they do not want to repay their debts, they are committing bankruptcy fraud. 

After people have committed bankruptcy fraud, the IRS will usually get involved immediately and begin investigating the person, his/her financial records, and his/her bankruptcy petition.  The investigation is likely to be lengthy and will also disrupt the person’s quality of life.  IRS investigations can also cause the person immense stress as they must answer an abundance of questions and deal with the fact that they may be facing criminal charges. 

For this reason, people should always consult with an experienced white collar crimes attorney when they have been charged with bankruptcy fraud.  A white collar crimes lawyer can provide effective, reliable legal counsel and aggressive defense tactics to combat a person’s criminal charges all while protecting the person’s constitutional rights.
