Bankruptcy trustee seeks money from Canyon County - KHQ Right Now

Bankruptcy trustee seeks money from Canyon County - KHQ Right Now

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - A bankruptcy trustee has filed a motion asking a federal bankruptcy judge to make a summary judgment and order Canyon County to turn over $171,000 the county received from former Prosecutor John Bujak before Bujak filed for bankruptcy.

The Idaho Statesman reports (http://bit.ly/LzDaol) that trustee Jeremy Gugino filed the motion Thursday contending he's entitled to recover transfers from Bujak to the county so that the money can be distributed among all creditors.

Gugino filed a lawsuit against the county in July last year seeking the money. His request for summary judgment, if granted, would mean the issue wouldn't be decided in a trial.

He says Bujak paid the county $171,000 in the two months before he resigned and that is more than the county would have received through the bankruptcy.
