So far all we are hearing about are the civil claims. I am wondering if there will be criminal charges filed next. Attempting to shift ownership to family members to protect assets is a criminal activity when it is done immediately before or during a bankruptcy filing. With state criminal charges and convictions, you have a chance of parole, but with federal sentencing, if the judge gives you 10 years, you will serve the full 10 years. Bankruptcy is a federal proceeding in federal courts. Just lying to a Federal agent can get you 3 years in a federal prison. Don't believe me, then ask Marth Stuart.
