Bankruptcy fraud constitutes the concealing and misstatement of assets during bankruptcy proceedings. Individuals and corporations can be investigated and prosecuted under bankruptcy fraud statutes. Bankruptcy laws can be found in Title 11 of the U.S. Code. Criminal sanctions can be found in Title 18 of the U.S. Code, §§ 152 and 157.
Bankruptcy fraud cases are investigated by the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation’s Bankruptcy Fraud Program. Cases are then referred to the Department of Justice for prosecution. In 2006, the IRS initiated 32 bankruptcy fraud investigations. Twenty-four were prosecuted and ten sentenced. The average sentence was 29 months in either federal prison or another form of detention.

Bankruptcies are steadily increasing, according to the United States Bankruptcy Court. Bankruptcies reached 1.7 million in fiscal year 2003. Bankruptcy fraud cases are also increasing. The Department of Justice estimates that 10 percent of all bankruptcy petitions contain some elements of fraud.

Those convicted of bankruptcy fraud face fines, imprisonment of no more than five years, or both. If you are under investigation or face prosecution for bankruptcy fraud, it is important to seek the counsel of an experienced bankruptcy fraud defense attorney as soon as possible.
