This panel explores issues that arise in fraud-based bankruptcy cases from both legal and financial perspectives, including managing a case when the fraudsters may still be around, dealing with fraudulent books and records, preserving the value of the business, investigating and litigating fraud and related claims, and working with (or against) the DOJ and other law enforcement agencies.
Learning Objectives:

- Attendees will analyze strategies for preserving estate value, managing unreliable books and records, and conducting investigations in fraud-based bankruptcy proceedings.
- Attendees will assess the tools available for pursuing fraud-related claims and understand the roles of the U.S. Department of Justice and other law enforcement agencies in bankruptcy cases involving alleged misconduct.
