Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

2. “[t]he trustee acts for all the creditors so as to maximize the distribution from the estate. The trastee distributes the property of the estate in accordance with the formula prescribed under 11 USC § 726 . A nondischargeable debt is not satisfied from the estate to the detriment of the other creditors. A creditor holding a nondis-chargeable debt must look to the debtor’s post-petition assets, which are of no interest to the trustee in bankruptcy. Economic interest is a rational means by which the scope of a trustee’s duties may be measured. When a trustee has neither financial interest in a matter nor duties imposed by statute, 9 then a trustee is not a “party in interest.””
