United States Seventh Circuit

Where records provided by Chapter 7 debtors were inadequate to ascertain their financial condition or business transactions, the case involved a vast amount of debt, and the evidence showed that debtors disposed of significant documents, the denial of discharge of debt, based on debtors' violation of 11 U.S.C. section 727(a)(3), was not clearly erroneous.
