I am not current on all the laws. I can tell you that when Weinzierl declared bankruptcy I and a number of his scam victims contacted the Department of Justice and the DOJ was very interested in possibly fraudulent transfers. They asked for and got special counsel appointed to investigate and litigate possibly fraudulent transfers. So, basically the DOJ could sue Jack's estate to recover money or assets he tried to hide in the months before his bankruptcy filing. Weinzierl panicked and begged for dismissal to end the DOJ's inquiry into his finances.

Advantage Conferences and its other top reps kept right on pushing that scam up to and even after the business ceased to exist after a December 2009 chapter 7 bankruptcy filing that discharged all AC's debt and some personal debt scammer Darnell threw in and liquidated the business with $0 in assets. He got the $20,000 he owed his attorney for the personal suit against me he filed and lost, plus the court reporter's fees for deposing me discharged in that bankruptcy filed almost 2 years after the company had plunged into the red.

Sleazy dealings to be sure, but small time well dressed thugs don't get brought to justice in our underfunded and understaffed system.
