Summary
Two debtors who were husband and wife, found liable for fraud in connection with a Ponzi scheme, filed voluntary bankruptcy applications and nominated their own trustee in bankruptcy. The sole creditor objected and nominated her own candidate. The court appointed the creditor's nominee as trustee, finding that while the debtors' nominee was not shown to have any disqualifying connection, the preferences of the majority creditor should prevail in a fraud case where independence must be seen to be maintained.
