For DUhMUt Bankruptdt* /
New York, 'Aug. <J,?Fraudulent
' bankruptcies, which have been a
thorn in the sldf Off jioneat business
for mtfny years, will face severe setbacks
in amendments to the present
laws which become operative August
27. *
Bankruptcy laws originally were
Li. constructed to aid honest debtors in
freeing themselves o /insurmountable
obstacles. However, losses attributable
to fraudulent bankruptcies have
constituted "a real menace to the
business structure of the nation,"
says the American Institute of Accountants.
^
Complaints against the present
law, which the accountants assert the
amendment# will rectify, include the
following:
That they do not prevent the making
off collusive petitions filed by
friendly or fictitious creditors at the
request of the debtor; they fail to
prevent the malting "of fraudulent
compositions favoring certainf creditors;
they prevenfe?*Uay discharge
from bankruptcy act; delays are encountered
in settling estates; administration
costs sometimes arc excessive
.and there i# an alleged laclf of
prosecution. < .>
The amendments provide heavier
penalties in some instances for fradulent
practices than under the old law,
and fix responsibility in others with
a view to easier prosecution of guilty
parties.
