HEANEY, Senior Circuit Judge.

In anticipation of his bankruptcy, Robert Johnson converted approximately $400,000 in assets into property exempt from his creditors’ claims under Minnesota law. Petitioner, a creditor, objected to granting Johnson a discharge, arguing that Johnson had committed fraud. The bankruptcy court, granted a discharge to Johnson. The district court affirmed.
