Question:  

I am an unsecured creditor of a bankrupt's estate and learned 2 years after the bankrupt obtained an absolute discharge that he failed to disclose a previous bankruptcy, and also failed to disclose a large asset in his Statement of Affairs. I notified the Trustee, but he says he is discharged himself and had done nothing to take actions against the bankrupt for the past 2 years, since my complaint. I have now learned the bankrupt began a new business without the knowledge of the Trustee during the period of his bankruptcy. Still the Trustee will do nothing. Should this bankrupt not be returned to bankruptcy and charges of fraud be laid under the Bankruptcy Act and with the RCMP?
