The Investigation

At the time of his guilty plea on April 27, 2018, Collier admitted to the Court that on March 18, 2016, knowing he was facing a garnishment of $18,000 in savings by a creditor, he purposefully withdrew the cash from his bank account, and filed a bankruptcy petition, failing to disclose the existence of the $18,000 in cash and thereby concealing those assets.
