1. ““A broker informed customers carrying stocks on margins that he had such stocks for them. The broker * * * had no such stocks on hand, .subject to the demands of customers, free from other demands, as required by the custom of brokers. Relying on the broker’s statement, customers made payments on margins, and subsequently made other payments. Held that, where the broker was conversant with the facts, his discharge in bankruptcy must be denied, on the ground that he made false statements to obtain money, even though he did not consider the statements false, and expected thereafter to acquire such stocks for the customers.””
