Redmiles March 2018 United States Attorneys’ Bulletin 1 Page Intentionally Left Blank 2 United States Attorneys’ Bulletin March 2018 Introduction James A. Crowell IV Acting Director Executive Office for United States Attorneys Thousands of debtors each year enter bankruptcy proceedings owing money to the United States or to victims of federal crime, including tax debtors, corporations, restitution judgment debtors, individuals, partnerships, farmers, sole proprietorships, and others. Through its adept and capable attorneys, the Department of Justice represents and advocates on behalf of the United States as a creditor or party in interest in Title 11 bankruptcy matters. Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSAs) handling bankruptcy matters have two primary and equally important objectives. First, AUSAs seek to preserve the United States’ monetary claims against bankruptcy debtors and estates and to collect debts owed to the government or victims of federal crimes. AUSAs in the civil divisions of United States Attorney’s Offices (USAOs) represent many federal Departments/Agencies in bankruptcy court—Education, Agriculture, Internal Revenue Service, Environmental Protection Agency, Housing and Urban Development, and Small Business Administration, to name a few. These AUSAs advocate to preserve non-dischargeable debts for later collection action after the end of the bankruptcy case. For example, AUSAs appear in bankruptcy court to preserve from discharge student loan debt owed by capable debtors who have borrowed the money from the federal government to fund their education and should be held to the loan repayment terms. When criminals file bankruptcy to try to shed their debt, AUSAs in bankruptcy courts advocate that restitution judgments are not dischargeable, preserving the debt for the benefit of federal crime victims. AUSAs also undertake collection of debt owed to the United States through the bankruptcy process. A portion of debt owed to the United States might be paid monthly by the debtor through a Chapter 13 plan of reorganization or in a Chapter 7 liquidation distribution from the case trustee. In both instances, AUSA advocacy benefits the public fisc. The second objective is prosecuting bankruptcy crimes, which are addressed by AUSAs in the USAOs’ criminal divisions. Bankruptcy crimes and procedures are set forth in Title 18 of the United States Code, and include knowing and fraudulent concealment of assets, false oaths and claims, bribery, embezzlement from the bankruptcy estate, and bankruptcy fraud. The long-standing concept for bankruptcy relief in the United States is to provide honest but unfortunate debtors with a fresh start. However, dishonest debtors who engage in fraud, concealment of assets, and perjury in bankruptcy matters are not deserving of a fresh start—and will find themselves under indictment, before a judge, and punished. For example, in one recent case, AUSAs prosecuted debtors who failed to disclose in their bankruptcy petitions $350,000 in cash, a country chalet, a 1932 Ford hot rod, and a 50-item weapon collection; and in another case the debtor failed to disclose insurance policies valued at more than $100,000. In addition to concealment of assets and fraud cases, AUSAs have successfully prosecuted individuals for bankruptcy perjury and making threats against a U.S. Bankruptcy Judge. As an AUSA in the District of Maryland, I prosecuted numerous bankruptcy fraud cases. I understand the seriousness of these offenses and the need to prosecute them and deter fraudsters from taking advantage of our bankruptcy system. Accordingly, it is with great pleasure that I present this issue of the USABulletin focused on bankruptcy issues. The articles selected for this issue provide information and insight into the practice, challenges, and objectives of the USAOs and the Department of Justice in these cases. Some of the articles, such as Dischargeability of Debt and Direct Appeals, give insight into the complexity of bankruptcy law under Title 11 of the United

Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

  • A Multi-Dimensional Study of the Emotion in Current Japanese Popular Music
    Acoust. Sci. & Tech. 34, 3 (2013) #2013 The Acoustical Society of Japan PAPER A multi-dimensional study of the emotion in current Japanese popular music Ryo Yonedaà and Masashi Yamada Graduate School of Engineering, Kanazawa Institute of Technology, 7–1 Ohgigaoka, Nonoich, 921–8501 Japan ( Received 22 March 2012, Accepted for publication 5 September 2012 ) Abstract: Musical psychologists illustrated musical emotion with various numbers of dimensions ranging from two to eight. Most of them concentrated on classical music. Only a few researchers studied emotion in popular music, but the number of pieces they used was very small. In the present study, perceptual experiments were conducted using large sets of popular pieces. In Experiment 1, ten listeners rated musical emotion for 50 J-POP pieces using 17 SD scales. The results of factor analysis showed that the emotional space was constructed by three factors, ‘‘evaluation,’’ ‘‘potency’’ and ‘‘activity.’’ In Experiment 2, three musicians and eight non-musicians rated musical emotion for 169 popular pieces. The set of pieces included not only J-POP tunes but also Enka and western popular tunes. The listeners also rated the suitability for several listening situations. The results of factor analysis showed that the emotional space for the 169 pieces was spanned by the three factors, ‘‘evaluation,’’ ‘‘potency’’ and ‘‘activity,’’ again. The results of multiple-regression analyses suggested that the listeners like to listen to a ‘‘beautiful’’ tune with their lovers and a ‘‘powerful’’ and ‘‘active’’ tune in a situation where people were around them. Keywords: Musical emotion, Popular music, J-POP, Semantic differential method, Factor analysis PACS number: 43.75.Cd [doi:10.1250/ast.34.166] ‘‘activity’’ [3].

  • TRANSCULTURAL SPACES in SUBCULTURE: an Examination of Multicultural Dynamics in the Japanese Visual Kei Movement
    TRANSCULTURAL SPACES IN SUBCULTURE: An examination of multicultural dynamics in the Japanese visual kei movement Hayley Maxime Bhola 5615A031-9 January 10, 2017 A master’s thesis submitted to the Graduate School of International Culture and Communication Studies Waseda University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts TRANSCULTURAL SPACES IN SUBCULTURE 2 Abstract of the Dissertation The purpose of this dissertation was to examine Japanese visual kei subculture through the theoretical lens of transculturation. Visual kei (ヴィジュアル系) is a music based subculture that formed in the late 1980’s in Japan with bands like X Japan, COLOR and Glay. Bands are recognized by their flamboyant (often androgynous appearances) as well as their theatrical per- formances. Transculturation is a term originally coined by ethnographer Fernando Ortiz in re- sponse to the cultural exchange that took place during the era of colonization in Cuba. It de- scribes the process of cultural exchange in a way that implies mutual action and a more even dis- tribution of power and control over the process itself. This thesis looked at transculturation as it relates to visual kei in two main parts. The first was expositional: looking at visual kei and the musicians that fall under the genre as a product of transculturation between Japanese and non- Japanese culture. The second part was an effort to label visual kei as a transcultural space that is able to continue the process of transculturation by fostering cultural exchange and development among members within the subculture in Japan. Chapter 1 gave a brief overview of the thesis and explains the motivation behind conduct- ing the research.
