Old Bank Accounts

[GPark]

I forgot to add a few old forgotten bank accounts to my petition. I have a savings account which I haven't touched in at least 6mos with like $5 in it and a checking account I forgot all about (haven't used it in two years). Maybe $15-20 in there. Is this a concern? Should I amend the petition?
Don't want to look like I'm hiding anything even though I could barely get a pizza with those accounts.

are you going through an attorney? If you are i would let them know. I think there's a way to ammend your petition. You definitly don't want to look like you're hiding anything- even if it is only $20.

I agree. amend. It's better to be safe than sorry here. You don't know what's going to come down the pike.

There was a recent decision, 8th circuit, IIRC, that ruled that omissions did not have to be material to be considered fraudulent. So even $20 could get you hit with a fraud charge. It's very very unlikely, but as I said, better safe than sorry IMHO.

Amending seems reasonable. But a fraud charge? There would have to be some intent to be considered fraudulent.
