This is clickbait, plain and simple. You can't tell me that Israel is the ONLY foreign military that the United States is surveilling. But Timothy won't approve a post about our viewing encrypted Zambian attack camel feeds because people will engage in more WHAARGARBL if Israel and/or Palestine is somehow involved.
By filing Chapter 13 initially, this guy was hoping to hold onto his assets, including the condo. TFA indicates that the maximum creditors could receive would be $161,400, which seems outrageously low for a debt load in the millions. I hate Chapter 13s because they are so numbers-intensive, and for people desperately wanting to hold onto their house (or car, or what have you), often times the numbers don't work. By converting to a 7, he basically loses all assets of a significant value that he cannot fully exempt from liquidation. So the condo, any vehicles with significant equity, all are seized by the Chapter 7 Trustee. He won't lose most personal effects, since the courts aren't going to waste their time taking the shirt off his back.
But if the DOJ is looking into this, he's fucked. Bankruptcy fraud was what sent the Giudices to prison, and I have had at least one client catch the eye of the DOJ in the past.
The real question now will be how long the liquidation and disbursement process will take. If they find other assets, it could very well last beyond the 5-year period of a Chapter 13.
That's still around? I remember driving past that corner all the time as a kid to visit my grandmother's old house. Haven't been that way in years though.
While you are technically correct in the abstract, creditors do have a method to have a debt declared nondischargeable, by way of filing an "adversarial complaint" against you in bankruptcy court. There are very strict parameters for this, most commonly used for debts incurred by fraudulent methods. As a bankruptcy attorney, I've seen a few of these pop up over the years (they are infrequently filed and even less frequently won), but they are most definitely a pain in the ass when it comes across my desk. Someone with available funds to retain an attorney for the ensuing litigation may not be frightened by the litigation (especially if they can defend the fraud accusation), but the majority of Chapter 7 debtors will shit their pants if they get sued in bankruptcy court, and may settle the case for a reduced amount just to avoid the legal fees that they would incur trying to fight the litigation.

So let him dig his own grave via Twitter. If you want the world to see how unviable a candidate he is, why censor him?
And ethics in games journalism, right?
If it didn't involve Israel.

Not only that, but conversion effectively shutters the business, so the Prenda name will cease to exist.
You should have nothing to hide, citizen.
Technically you can discharge student loans in bankruptcy, but it's a very very difficult thing to do. You pretty much have to be a quadriplegic.
Technically they can, but it's a very arduous process.

I put on my robe and wizard hat.
Oh for Christ's sake, enough with the elderly white males canard.
I, for one, eagerly await the day when people don't have to grasp at straws to find racism in every fucking comment posted on the Internet.
I'm not holding my breath though.
Where in Jersey are you finding gas station attendants expecting a tip?
Better dealing with Spanish tax authorities than Spanish tax inquisitors: at least you expect the former.

Any criminal act that results in the death of another is called felony murder.
In some instances, that may not be true, such as where a victim kills a criminal (depends on the state really).
