this case. In fact Attorney Satran filed a motion with
the Court to disburse the funds including [sic] the IRS
liens. It is a mockery to the integrity [of the]
Bankruptcy Court if an Attorney can use it to defeat a
Federal Tax Lien allowing a Debtor to walk away with
the proceeds. The Bankruptcy Code was used because 11
USC 363 was authorized by the Court.
I informed Attorney Campobasso that Attorney
Satran had previously been suspended by the Bankruptcy
Court. Chief, US Bankruptcy Court Judge Carol J Keener
suspended attorney Satran from 01/30/1996 through
11/29/1996. The action of Attorney Satran in a chapter
11 case [involving] Paula Wyner, Carlton House of
Brockton, Inc. was the cause of the suspension. I
think the Court should be informed of the conduct of
Attorney Satran in this case.
On January 30, 2002, Mr. Burke attended a meeting with
Settlement Officer O’Shea on behalf of both Barbara Drake and
petitioner. At the meeting, Settlement Officer O’Shea did not
inform Mr. Burke of his communications with Advisor Gordon. Mr.
Burke provided a copy of a collection information statement
signed by petitioner on January 24, 2002.4 On the collection
information statement, petitioner stated that he had not
transferred any assets out of his name for less than their actual
value in the last 10 years. A Form 656, Offer-in-Compromise
(offer-in-compromise form), had been completed but was not
submitted to Settlement Officer O’Shea for consideration.
Petitioner concedes that the parties informally suspended
consideration of any offer-in-compromise pending a determination
4Barbara Drake was not listed as a taxpayer and did not sign
the form.
