Case Summary:
Plaintiffs filed an action against the Debtor in state court on May 13, 2009. The state court found Debtors had obtained money in violation of state securities law and issued a default judgement against them for $974,104.46. The Plaintiffs then brought this adversary seeking a determination that the state court judgment is nondischargeable under 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(19). Defendants responded that the state court judgment was invalid. The Court held the state court judgment was valid and enforceable against Debtors and nondischargeable.
