Consumer Bankruptcy Law and Practice: 15.2.2.4 Dishonesty in Connection with the Bankruptcy Case—11 U.S.C. § 727(a)(4)
Not surprisingly, debtors who attempt to perpetrate a fraud upon the bankruptcy court are not treated kindly by the Code. Those who make a false oath (commit perjury), present false claims, give or take bribes, or withhold records are denied a discharge.62 This provision clearly extends to the bankruptcy statements and schedules, which are submitted under oath.
