Throughout
the various federal government bankruptcy court web-sites, there are
a number of bold listings that state: "Report Bankruptcy Fraud".
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.
