How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “[A]n individual commits the crime of false pretenses when he fraudulently convinces another to part with both possession of and title to property. In such a situation, the offender obtains voidable title to the property.”
• “the bankruptcy code is clear that property is includable only to the extent of the debtor’s legal title and not to the extent of any equitable interest that the debtor does not have . . . .”
• bankruptcy court may lift the automatic stay so that prepetition state court action, seeking to establish equitable title in certain property, may be pursued; Omegas “does not bar the enforcement of such a judgment by the bankruptcy court”
