Larry Shaffer v. Allen W. Bird II (In re Bird), Ch. 11, 4:12-bk-16634, 4:13-ap-1021 (Bankr. E.D. Ark. Jan. 7, 2014)

In an Arkansas case in which Judge Mahoney sat by designation, the judgment debt at issue was non-dischargeable under 11 U.S.C. ยง 523(a)(4). The court issuing the judgment specifically found that the debtor had committed fraud and breached his fiduciary duties in the performance of his duties as a bankruptcy trustee. These findings brought the debtor's conduct within the scope of "defalcation" as defined by the Supreme Court in Bullock v. BankChampaign, N.A., 133 S. Ct. 1754 (2013).
