Bankruptcy Fraud is committed by hiding assets from the court when a person or entity files for bankruptcy, seeks relief, and makes false representations about their financial condition. It is a federal crime, and the amount of the fraud helps to determine the sentence. It is highly encouraged that those filing for bankruptcy protection tell their attorney about every asset they own.
