Bankrupt victim of romance scams granted discharge suspended for 22 months despite disclosure failures.
The self-represented bankrupt sought an absolute discharge from bankruptcy.
The Trustee and the OSB opposed the discharge, citing the bankrupt's failure to disclose significant assets lost to romance scams and extravagant spending prior to bankruptcy.
The Court found several section 173 facts proven but concluded a refusal of discharge was too severe.
The Court granted a discharge suspended for 22 months, recognizing the bankrupt was a victim of fraud and did not intentionally evade her bankruptcy duties.
