Investopedia explains 'Debt Restructuring Fraud'

The guiding principle of bankruptcy is that the creditors and debtors can find a compromise that favors neither party, but satisfies both. By knowingly concealing or misstating assets, the debtor is abusing the process to escape financial liabilities while holding onto the wealth that those liabilities - and thus the creditors - helped create.
