It often happens that, due to severe financial pressure, you end up filing for bankruptcy. To prevent the bankruptcy court from knowing it all, you conceal some of your assets; if you do this, nothing can stop you from being convicted of a federal bankruptcy fraud.

When you have surplus debt which you cannot handle, you have the choice of filing for bankruptcy, particularly in the federal court. This way the creditor cannot sue you or snatch your property for collecting on your debts. Based on the information that you provide to the court, the judge will make determinations regarding the property you have as well as the debts that you owe. It is this data that will help the judge to make decisions as to how to repay the creditor. If the asset is concealed or you provide false information, you will have committed bankruptcy fraud; this is either a civil or a criminal offense.

While filing for bankruptcy, it is illegal under the federal law to knowingly and with intention:

• Conceal assets
• Hide or destroy financial records
• Offer false statements
• File a false claim
• Bribe a court-appointed trustee or creditor
• File for bankruptcy in various states simultaneously

A creditor that files a fraudulent claim, or even makes untrue statements regarding the manner in which a debtor makes payments, can be convicted of a bankruptcy fraud.

Bankruptcy fraud of a serious nature can go to the federal court. In this regard, the prosecutor will definitely seek punishment which will include 5 years of imprisonment and fines of approximately $250,000. This is a serious offense which is thoroughly investigated.
