A government web-site called: "Stopfraud.gov" is a financial fraud enforcement task force specifically designed to enforce the bankruptcy laws. If you decide to report bankruptcy fraud, you can contact the U.S. Trustee's Office, and make a report under Section 586 of Title 28 of the United States Code.
