1Opinion of the Court
BOWNES, Circuit Judge.
Hector Manuel Rodriguez Estrada (Rodriguez), former operating trustee of the bankrupt San Juan Hotel Corporation, appeals from a judgment of the district court surcharging him $3,434,081.82. The district court found that Rodriguez, in various ways, intentionally violated his fiduciary duties as trustee, causing enormous harm to the estate and its creditors. Rodriguez challenges the legal basis for the district court’s action, and also argues that the court’s factual findings were, for the most part, clearly erroneous. We affirm in part, reverse in part and remand.
