Dave owes $100,000 to Cindy and $100,000 to Connie. Both before and after Dave went into bankruptcy under Chapter 7, he engaged in faking records, withholding information, and concealing assets in order to avoid Cindy's debt. However, Dave did not behave this way with regard to Connie's debt. Because Dave had few assets and Connie's debt was unsecured, she got virtually nothing out of Dave's bankruptcy. The same is true regarding Cindy. Sometime later, therefore, Cindy and Connie sue Dave on the debt once Dave becomes rich. Dave defends by saying that both debts are discharged. Is Dave right? Assume that each debt is a normal contract obligation.
