My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: California

Just hours before the 7-8-11 court ordered MSC, the defendants in a civil Elder Abuse case, filed for Automatic Stay under Chapter 13 Bankruptcy protection. Unfortunately, my surviving parent is the victim of the abuse and one of my siblings is the perpetrator. Although I know them to be guilty, I still feel badly that it has come down to this.

In order to get the civil litigation back on track, I must make these assertions to protect my parent. I have substantial, compelling evidence to prove the defendants guilty of 879 Bankruptcy Fraud—18 U.S.C. § 157. This offense alone carries a 250k fine, 5 years in prison or both.

Does filing a Complaint to Determine Dischargeability under 11 U.S.C. 523(a)(6) also apply to Chapter 13 petitions?

I am in the process of retaining yet another attorney (District Court practice issues) that specializes in Bankruptcy Law. From what I have read, I need to file a proof of claim, an adversary proceeding complaint, an objection to discharge due to fraud and anything else I can learn to doe on behalf of my handicapped and victimized parent.

Best situation analogy: The bank robbers come in, shoot the teller, get away with the loot, spend the loot and then file for Chapter 13 because they no longer have the "CMI" to make ends meet.

I've read that the IRS considers stolen money and/or property "taxable" unless the stolen money or property is returned in the same year it was taken. It's my understanding that the Chapter 13 Trustee can "require" the debtor to furnish copies of their tax returns for the years in question at their confirmation hearing, is this correct? I have documentation that proves understated income and understated assets totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars for these 3 years. My question is how bad can it get for my sibling? I understand that there will be (huge) taxes and penalties due for tax evasion, but can or will they arrest them for this? No matter what they did, they are still our flesh and blood and another of my parent's offspring, so what do you do given such hard choices?

Any help or advice is welcomed
