The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““So the critical question in this proceeding is whether the false statement thus made was in fact a recital of the bankrupt’s financial condition. It is no longer possible for a bankrupt to set up a smoke-screen so as to obscure the realities. Marcus was the owner of the Undergarment Corp. and made this materially false statement to get credit, knowing the statement to be false. It seems idle for him to contend that that has no bearing on the instant proceeding. In Judge Bryan’s opinion he wrote (149 F.Supp. [496], 503): “The statement as to the corporate financial condition and the statement as to Marcus’ financial condition were one and the same thing.” (See 253 F.2d p. 687) In re: Leichter, 3 Cir., 197 F.2d 955 : ‘Whether under the 1926 and subsequent amendments a false statement concerning the financial condition of a corporation in which the bankrupt was the sole stockholder may be deemed a false statement concerning the bankrupt’s own financial condition, need not be here decided because even under the Referee’s own finding the bankrupt in the instant case was not the sole stockholder but only ‘a large stockholder’.” (See 197 F.2d p. 958.)”
