United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. Pennsylvania

1Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM

BRUCE I. FOX, Chief Judge.

The plaintiff, Ronald Schlesinger, filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under chapter 7. He has now filed an adversary proceeding seeking a determination that his pre-bankruptcy federal tax obligation to the United States, in the amount of $473,000.00, is dischargeable. The United States opposes this relief. It argues that the tax debt is non-dischargeable pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(1)(C).

Trial on this proceeding has taken place, and both parties have submitted thoughtful post-trial memoranda. This proceeding is now ripe for determination.
