Superseding Indictment Returned Against Lancaster Man in Bankruptcy Case

Kenneth G. Reidenbach was charged today by second superseding indictment with making a false declaration or certification in connection with a bankruptcy case, announced United States Attorney Zane David Memeger. The additional charge alleges that Reidenbach, an attorney in Lancaster, represented an individual in a bankruptcy proceeding. It is alleged that as part of the bankruptcy proceeding, Reidenbach falsely certified that he had received and agreed to accept $1,500 as fees for services rendered, and to be rendered, in contemplation of, or in connection with, the bankruptcy, when he had in fact received approximately $4,800.

The first superseding indictment charged Reidenbach with bankruptcy fraud, concealing assets during a bankruptcy proceeding, and embezzling from a bankruptcy estate arising from the concealment of $40,000 in real estate proceeds in a law firm account controlled by Reidenbach. The indictment also alleges that Reidenbach falsely represented that he had agreed to receive only $1,500 for representing the client in the bankruptcy proceeding.

The original indictment, filed December 9, 2010, charged Reidenbach and co-defendant Herbert P. Henderson, another attorney in Lancaster, with conspiracy to commit bankruptcy fraud and concealing assets in bankruptcy by concealing more than $51,000 of clients’ real estate sales proceeds from the bankruptcy court.
