Pretty much the worst and most foolish move anyone can do. One of the most basic of things to understand. Retirement accounts are exempt from seizure in BK. As soon as you remove the money, it is available and will be taken by creditors...AND you will incur a huge tax bill too, that won't be discharged in BK. That you didn't know this means you absolutely must GET INDIVIDUAL PROFESSIONAL HELP TODAY!!!! Really, don't walk out of your house, talk to anyone, do anything at all until you have gotten actual help.
