   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-6003
   U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Schermer, Author, with Federman and Saladino, Bankruptcy Judges]
Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. Bankruptcy court did not err in finding debtors acted in bad faith when they failed to disclose in their filings that they had borrowed $17,000 from a 401K account and deposited the money in their checking account; the fact that debtors could have exempted the funds if they had accurately reported the loan, does not change the conclusion that they acted in bad faith; the court did not abuse its discretion when it disallowed the debtors' attempt to amend their exemptions because of the bad faith.
