# 18 U.S.C. § 3284 - Concealment of bankrupts assets
## Text
The concealment of assets of a debtor in a case under title 11 shall be deemed to be a continuing offense until the debtor shall have been finally discharged or a discharge denied, and the period of limitations shall not begin to run until such final discharge or denial of discharge.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 828; Pub. L. 95598, title III, § 314(k), Nov. 6, 1978, 92 Stat. 2678.)
## Notes
Historical and Revision NotesBased on section 52(d) of title 11, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Bankruptcy (May 27, 1926, ch. 406, § 11d, 44 Stat. 665; June 22, 1938, ch. 575, § 1, 52 Stat. 856). The 3-year-limitation provision was omitted as unnecessary in view of the general statute, section 3282 of this title. The words “or a discharge denied” and “or denial of discharge” were added on the recommendation of the Department of Justice to supply an omission in existing law. Other subsections of said section 52 of title 11, U.S.C., 1940 ed., are incorporated in sections 151154 and 3057 of this title. Other minor changes of phraseology were made.
Editorial Notes
Amendments1978—Pub. L. 95598 substituted “debtor in a case under title 11” for “bankrupt or other debtor”.
