Does a debtor's intent to defraud a creditor meet the requirements of Section 727(a)(2)?
federal, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Gronlund v. Anderson (In re Gronlund), Adv. No. 6:12-1173, BAP No. CC-13-1566-KiTaPa, Bk. No. 6:12-14417 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 2014):
A debtor's intent need not be fraudulent to meet the requirements of 727(a)(2). Because the language of the statute is in the disjunctive, it is sufficient if the debtor's intent is to hinder or delay a creditor. Bernard v. Sheaffer (In re Bernard), 96 F.3d 1279, 1281 (9th Cir. 1996).
