United States First Circuit

Bankruptcy court's denial of discharge of the $983,000 debt based on its finding that the debtor appropriated the victims' property for his own benefit with fraudulent intent, thus finding the elements necessary to hold the debtor responsible as an embezzler, is affirmed, as while it is true that the bankruptcy judge did not make an express finding that debtor knew the action being taken was unauthorized, the judge's conclusion leaves no doubt that he did so find.
