| It has "come to the attention" of a lawyer that the lawyer's clients may not have advised the bankruptcy trustee of potential assets. Whether this amounts to fraud on the tribunal is a question of law beyond the Bar's jurisdiction. If it is fraud on the tribunal, the lawyer would have an ethical obligation to reveal the fraud or an intent to commit a crime. [The Bar did not analyze the "clearly establishes" component of the test under Rule 1.6, and it seems that the client did not acknowledge the fraud.] |
