My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Florida
Hi all,
I have a question regarding suspected bankruptcy fraud and wanted to hear what other people think. I did work for a guy about a month or so ago and went I went to collect my check it was in someone else's name. I thought it was kind of strange. He stated it was his aunt and she was the real owner of the property and he was just taking care of it. Anyway, I found it odd so I did a little research and here is what I have found out through public records.
He filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in March this year for about 450,000. It was then discharged but then reopened by himself because he forgot to add a personal injury lawsuit which may be declared as income. So currently the case is open.
I have found out by talking to him that his Aunt, who currently lives with him, has purchased vacant land for 150,000. He is planning on building a 3-4,000 square foot house on it. I would assume this would cost minimum 400,000? He has been doing all the planning of this, hiring contractors, talking to builders, getting surveys, permits etc. The only thing I know about the Aunt is that she is 84 years old and just recently sold her house of 28 years for 108,000 which she still had a mortgage on. So, it doesn't sound like she is really well off either.
His reported income over the past 3 years has been 5,000 a year.
This just doesn't sit right with me. I believe that at best something sketchy is going on here and at worst some sort of bankruptcy fraud. I have contacted the trustee but when I wish to remain anonymous she will not even talk to me. She basically says if you have info about a debtor I need to know who you are and what you know otherwise I do not want to have this conversation. I have no interest in revealing my identity. I have nothing to gain from reporting this. I just hate to see people gaming the system while I'm out there working hard and paying taxes. Anyway, I would love to hear any advice. Thanks.
