The popular television show The Office parodies life in the workplace. In this segment Michael Scott “declares” bankruptcy:
The Office – I declare bankruptcy! Michael Scott
It’s not quite as easy as he thinks, unfortunately. 
But if you do need help, give us a call. We can help make it a lot easier than you might think.
Most people going through bankruptcy are good people caught up in a bad situation who need help to get back on their feet. But a very small minority try to game the system and make other people look bad in the process. Here’s a perfect example:
“Since he filed for Chapter 7 personal bankruptcy in June, Denny Hecker has spent $27,500 on vacations and transferred $72,500 to live-in girlfriend Christi Rowan for “household expenses,” the Star Tribune reports, citing documents from Hecker’s divorce case.
Hecker has argued that he is unable to pay the $7,500 per month in spousal support his estranged wife, Tamitha Hecker, is seeking in the divorce because he is unemployed and going through bankruptcy.”
It’s hard to get much sympathy for being unemployed and in bankruptcy when you spend almost $30k on a vacation. Hopefully this guy will wise up.
