Question

Well, well, well.............my brother is a private investigator and he thinks that he has found a couple of pieces of property that the "idiot " so named in my last post transfered out of his name.

He did the transfers in 11/07 and filed in 10/08.

I have his BK petition in hand and he did not declare anything. I have located him on PACER and have seen all his schedules etc.

I think that the TT can reopen a case due to fraud.

I have the TT's name and can give him reams of info, right or wrong that show the transfers.

My wife is afraid and wants me to do it anonymously. I think I should just write the letter, sign my name, send them the investigation reports and if they find any truth to it I will be happy to help or testify against him.

I can't ask for advice on how to do it since that is between me and the wife but is there a formal way tip off the trustee in cases like this where one suspects fraud?

Yes, it is a vendetta and he doesn't know what a hornets nest he kicked with me.

I am ready to write the letter tonight.

Thanks.
