“[t]he term 'actual fraud' in § 523(a)(2)(A) encompasses forms of fraud, like fraudulent transfer schemes, that can be effected without a false representation.”
12 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Actual fraud” has two parts: actual and fraud. The word “actual” has a simple meaning in the context of common-law fraud: It denotes any fraud that “in-volv[es] moral turpitude or intentional wrong.” “Actual” fraud stands in contrast to “implied” fraud or fraud “in law,” which describe acts of deception that “may exist without the imputation of bad faith or immorality.” Thus, anything that counts as “fraud” and is done with wrongful intent is “actual fraud.””
