Abstract
In some circuits, fraudulent debtors in bankruptcy may have their debts discharged--even debts obtained by actual fraud, false misrepresentations, or false pretenses. In other circuits, courts are less forgiving of such debtors and instead protect the creditors that the debtor defrauded or misled. The source of this circuit conflict is a debt dischargeability exception that applies to individuals in bankruptcy.
