What is the name of your state? FL
The trustee knows that the debtor committed fraud and has all the evidence to prove it, but that would require some work, a hearing, a break in the papere-pushing routine. So instead, they've decided to use it to try to extort a higher payment out of the crooked debtor, as if that's a better favor to the creditors than getting the case dismissed.
Don't get me wrong. They're nice guys over there. They bust their heinies, and they've been quite decent to me, and they admit that they are essentially turning a blind eye while this crook gets away with it, because they've just got too much caseload.
So this piece of crap will get confirmed tomorrow (two years after being filed) and then I'll really be jammed up trying to figure out how to appeal it. Is dereliction of duty on the part of the trustee grounds for appeal? They don't even deny it. Or do I file a motion for sanctions against the Trustee in the BK court? Oh, the fun we'll all have...
