United States First Circuit

In an adversary proceeding objecting to the discharge of a debt owed by debtor that she allegedly obtained as part of a fraudulent scheme to prevent appellant from collecting a previous judgment from her father, the bankruptcy court's dismissal for failure to state a claim is vacated where a debt that is not dischargeable in Chapter 13 bankruptcy as a debt for money or property "obtained by . . . actual fraud" extends beyond debts incurred through fraudulent misrepresentations to also include debts incurred as a result of knowingly accepting a fraudulent conveyance that the transferee knew was intended to hinder the transferor's creditors.
