Paul Truong Has Filed For Bankruptcy

Subject: Paul Truong Has Filed For Bankruptcy

While searching for something else, I stumbled on a Bankruptcy filing
for "HOAINHAN M TRUONG". This is a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy filing.

This is definitely OUR Paul Truong. His address is the same as the
address of Susan Polgar, 67-76 Booth Street, Apt. 1E, Forest Hills NY
11357.

The date of filing was June 21, 2007, Filed in the Eastern District of
New York which covers Queens. Case Number is 1-07-43368

He lists his occupation as "unemployed". He lists as income "Child
Support from Wife's Ex-Husband $1250.00 per month".

That is the child support that Susan's ex-husband Jacob Shutzman pays
for the support of their two children, Tom and Leaam.

His only other income is income of spouse as a "writer" of $980 minus
$150 business expenses leaving income of $830 per month.

Truong lists as assets, $40 in cash, $1000 in household furnishing,
$750 in clothing. Total assets $1790.00

Liabilities are taxes owed to the Cook County Chicago Tax Department
in 1994-1995 of $2831.00 and various credit cards debts, mostly to
American Express Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and to Asset Acceptance,
Warren MI. Debts are also owed to Capital One Bank, United National
Bank and Washington Mutual. Total liabilities $52,412.00

His filing says that his filing fees and his attorney's fees were paid
by his wife who, as we know, is Susan Polgar. His attorney is Kevin D.
Ribakove, 107-19 71st Avenue, Forest Hills NY 11375, 718-268-8900, FAX
718-268-3045

The filing date of June 21, 2007 was when Paul Truong was running for
USCF election claiming to have made millions by rescuing and saving
billion dollar corporations.

Bankruptcy was discharged on October 30, 2007. This means that he
cannot file for bankruptcy again for another seven years.

The website address of this bankruptcy case is
https://ecf.nyeb.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_case_doc?1,269988,,,,1

I am surprised that nobody noticed this before, or perhaps somebody
did and did not tell us.

It seems appropriate to congratulate Sam for his work on this.
Previously, it was Brian Motterhead who did the research, and Sam
deserved credit for perseverance but not always common sense in his
lawsuit. However, the discovery of the bankruptcy filings is all due
to Sam. I am guessing that this will be the straw that broke the
camel's back; that even most of Truong's previous supporters will
realize that he is not a man whose statements can ever be trusted, and
that he should be asked to resign from the board. However, I have been
amazed at the persistence of his defenders in the face of overwhelming
evidence before, and we will have to wait and see how this plays out.

Someday in the future, I think a chess historian will have a field day
with this. I think the story will be about a con man who told an
incredible set of whoppers from start to finish, and got away with it
for a very long time before he was found out because of
extraordinarily stupid behavior in attacking a man with his own
bizarre and colorful background. I think that Susan will end up as a
very tragic figure, but we will have to wait for history on that one.

In any case, those of us who said Sam never produced anything
important in his investigations must admit that this is a significant
find.

He actually said that many times over on the USCF Issues Forum.

You may be able to find such quotes on my [email protected]

I recall he had said that he was a "successful businssman" and was
experienced with "big deals" but that doesn't mean that he himself
necessarily got rich.

What's interesting is that anything he did AFTER his bankruptcy will have
separate legal consequences, I'm sure, regarding discharge of any potential
liabilities.

I cannot remember the claim that Truong had made millions by rescuing
and saving huge corporations. Is this simply the impression he was
trying to put out at the time, or are there specific statements to
this effect? I would like to see anybody hunt down a specific quote on
the subject. I believe (as anyone who feels that he is the FSS must)
that he is willing to tell lies to advance himself, but some of what
he says is merely extreme "spinning", in which he exaggerates minor
accomplishments, sometimes to absurd extents. I can laugh a bit about

And of course, a bankruptcy filing from someone who was representing
during the campaign that he was a retired, wealthy businessman. IMO,
Mr. Truong is a fraud. So a man who can't manage his own finances
claims to be able to set the USCF's finances in order?????

I think I'm going to file an ethics complaint with the USCF for failing
to tell the members about this during the campaign and misrepresenting
his economic status to the membership.

He can file Chapter 13, but not Chpater 7, unless the law has changed.

They call that a "Chapter 20"

The 1991 bankruptcy case was filed in Chicago. So, now we know that he
lived in Chicago, which we did not know previously.
