This guy, Young Buck (read more here if you don't know about him -- I personally had no idea who this character was) has just been evicted from his house in Hendersonville, Tennessee, which is outside Nashville. Apparently, he filed for a chapter 13 bankruptcy back in 2010, which means that he has 3-5 years to pay back his debts. He owed a lot of money in back taxes, which is a bad thing in bankruptcy, and you can't discharge those. Young Buck then ended up converting his 13 to a 7 (like most chapter 13 debtors do because it's so hard to meet the requirements of the plan), and liquidation began. First up, his house. Let me point out that, in a chapter 7 bankruptcy, you are only permitted up to a certain amount of value of personal items (remember? you owe people lots of money). In this picture, you see Young Buck carrying his Louis Vuitton travel bag --- methinks that bag will claim a large chunk of his personal property exemption limit in a 7. His lawyer might want to have a little chat with Mr. Buck about how-to-look-like-a-pauper. Poor people don't have bags worth thousands of dollars.
This blog is mainly focused on current legal stories and cases. Because I am licensed in Ohio and Tennessee and living in Oklahoma, I tend to read (and therefore blog) mostly about cases from those states. When I get tired of reading about legal cases, I blog about my dogs and other interesting stories. I try to keep the author as my dog Ella, but I'm not very successful at that. Goal for future: Be more persuasive about Ella being the author despite me being the one who can type.
