A bankrupt sought discharge from bankruptcy following insolvency connected to the failure of his company.
Certain creditors opposed the discharge, relying in part on restitution orders made in a Consumer Protection Act proceeding where the bankrupt had pleaded guilty and served a custodial sentence.
The court considered the objections, the existence of restitution obligations, and outstanding income tax liabilities.
Finding that the bankrupt required an opportunity to earn income and comply with other court-ordered restitution, the court granted a conditional discharge.
The discharge was suspended pending filing of outstanding tax returns and payment of specified amounts toward income tax arrears and trustee fees.
