Mr. Schlichtmann? Mr. Schlichtmann?
Jan Schlichtmann:
I'm sorry. Yes.
Bankruptcy Judge:
The purpose of these questions is not to embarass or humiliate you but rather to verify the information you've declared as your assets.
Jan Schlichtmann:

Bankruptcy Judge:

Jan Schlichtmann:

Bankruptcy Judge:

Jan Schlichtmann:

Bankruptcy Judge:
Where did it all go?
Jan Schlichtmann:

Bankruptcy Judge:
The money, the property, the personal belongings, the things one acquires in one's life, Mr. Schlichtmann. The things by which one measures one's life. What happened?
