Bankruptcy fraud is an extremely serious issue and is definitely subject to prosecution, subtantial fines and incarceration. Because it is a federal felony each proven count of concealment constitutes a separate criminal count. Each concealment count that the defendant is found guilty of carries a mandatory 5-year prison sentence which usually will be imposed to run consecutively. It would be in the person's interest to retain legal counsel as soon as possible or at the very least legal advice from a qualified bankruptcy attorney.

Is there a 180 day bar to filing a ch 7 after a ch 13 case was dismissed?

Yes, there is a 180-day bar to filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy after a Chapter 13 case is dismissed if the dismissal was due to the debtor's failure to comply with court orders or if the debtor voluntarily dismissed the case after a creditor filed a motion for relief from stay. This rule is intended to prevent abuse of the bankruptcy system. If the dismissal was not due to these reasons, the debtor may be able to file for Chapter 7 without the waiting period. Always consult with a bankruptcy attorney for specific guidance related to individual circumstances.
