United States Tenth Circuit

In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, a decision denying debtors a discharge is affirmed where, on the record before it, the bankruptcy court could properly find that debtors had engaged in a variety of unreported or otherwise deceitful transactions whose overriding purpose was to prevent plaintiffs from recovering any money from the debtors' bankruptcy estate.
