MEMORANDUM OPINION
Rebecca B. Connelly, United States Bankruptcy Judge
Before the Court is Cincinnati Insurance Company’s (“Cincinnati Insurance”) renewed motion for summary judgment, seeking a determination that a debt owed to it by Michael D. Chidester is non-dis-chargeable as arising from Mr. Chidester’s defalcation. As more fully set forth below, the Court grants Cincinnati Insurance’s motion for summary judgment.
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
On November 13, 2013, the Court entered a memorandum decision which granted in part and denied in part Cincin[658]*658nati Insurance’s first motion for summary-judgment.1 In that opinion, the Court concluded that Cincinnati Insurance was entitled to summary judgment regarding the existence of a debt and the fact that the debt arose from Mr. Chidester’s fiduciary relationship as guardian for his stepfather, Billy Linwood Clemmer.2 The Court, however, found that a disputed issue of material fact existed regarding Mr. Chi-dester’s mental state. The Court concluded that Cincinnati Insurance was not entitled to summary judgment on the question of Mr. Chidester’s mental state in light of the Supreme Court’s Bullock opinion.3 Specifically, the Bullock ruling requires courts to find the debtor acted with at least recklessness to declare a debt nondis-chargeable as arising from defalcation.4
Subsequently, Cincinnati Insurance renewed its motion for summary judgment, relying primarily on the development of the case law since the Bullock decision and information gleaned from a recent deposition of Mr. Chidester.5 Specifically, the renewed motion for summary judgment highlighted portions of Mr. Chidester’s deposition indicating he knew he needed to account for Mr. Clemmer’s funds but failed to do so.6 Furthermore, the motion pointed out that Mr. Chidester received a letter from the Commissioner of Accounts informing him he had yet to file the final accounting, but Mr. Chidester “ignored” the letter and did not inform the Commissioner of either the disposition of the estate’s assets or an explanation of his failure to account.7 Accordingly, Cincinnati Insurance asserted the evidence before the Court was sufficient to prove Mr. Chides-ter possessed the requisite scienter under the Supreme Court’s newly defined standard.
In response to the renewed motion for summary judgment, Mr. Chidester asserted, “the record' thus far does not establish that Mr. Chidester maintained a culpable state of mind ... or that he committed defalcation through an intentional wrong or by engaging in reckless conduct.”8
At the hearing on November 19, the parties appeared and presented their respective arguments. Counsel for Cincinnati Insurance began with a brief recitation of the facts, supplemented with testimony from Mr. Chidester’s deposition, which she then asserted satisfied the Bullock standard.9 Specifically, she pointed out that Mr. Chidester had legal representation in his appointment hearing; he filed two previous account-ings, both of which the Commissioner of Accounts accepted; and he acknowledged an awareness of his obligations as conservator, yet he failed to meet them.10 Moreover, in response to Mr. [659]*659Chidester’s anticipated excuses, counsel for Cincinnati Insurance argued that although he might not have had the documents in his immediate possession, he knew how much he had paid various individuals, remembered the names and locations of all of the nursing homes in which his stepfather resided, and could have gone to the bank to get his stepfather’s account records, none of which he did.11 Finally, Cincinnati Insurance’s counsel stressed that Mr. Chidester knew he had failed to comply with his duties, because he received a notice from the Commissioner of Accounts informing him he needed to make a final accounting of his stepfather’s estate, but Mr. Chidester admittedly “ignored” the correspondence.12 Counsel then compared these facts to a handful of the litany of cases she had cited in her motion and, again, suggested the case was ripe for summary judgment.13
Conversely, Mr. Chidester’s counsel claimed the Supreme Court’s ruling in Bullock was stringent and required something akin to criminal recklessness or gross negligence.14 In explaining why Mr. Chidester’s conduct did not rise to the level of criminal recklessness, his counsel argued that Mr. Chidester’s failure to file the accounting was directly tied to his strained relationship with his stepbrother who had control over a storage unit containing records Mr. Chidester asserted he needed to complete the accounting.15 Furthermore, Mr. Chidester’s attorney emphasized that the record contains no evidence of improper conduct, fraud, or misuse of funds, implying such a finding is necessary under the Bullock standard.16 Finally, he argued that the Court should consider Mr. Chidester’s lack of sophistication in legal matters as a mitigating factor in his favor.17
Ultimately, counsel for Mr. Chidester conceded that Mr. Chidester did not file the accounting and did not go “beyond” the records to attempt to procure other copies of the documents to which is brother had denied him access.18 Nevertheless, he maintained that a genuine issue of material fact existed as to whether Mr. Chi-dester’s actions rose to the level of “recklessness” as required by Bullock,19
At the end of the hearing, the Court took under advisement the matter of Mr. Chidester’s mens rea with respect to his failure to account.20
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
a) Summary Judgment
Summary judgment is proper when there is “no genuine issue as to any material fact and ... the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” News & Observer Publ’g Co. v. Raleigh-Durham Airport Auth., 597 F.3d 570, 576 (4th Cir.2010); see also Fed. R. Bankr.P. 7056. A “material fact” is any one which may “affect the outcome of the case,” and a “genuine issue” exists as to any material fact “when the evidence would allow any reasonable juror to return a verdict for the [660]*660non-moving party.” News & Observer Publ’g Co., 597 F.3d at 576. Furthermore, in making such a determination, courts should consider the non-moving party’s evidence as true and construe any reasonable inference in that party’s favor. Id.
b) Defalcation and the Bullock Standard
Section 523(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code excepts from discharge any debt arising from “fraud or defalcation while acting in a fiduciary capacity, embezzlement, or larceny.” 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(4). Until the Bullock decision, the law surrounding defalcation varied greatly between the Circuits-specifically with regard to scienter. See Bullock, 133 S.Ct. at 1759 (“[Cjourts of appeals have long disagreed about the mental state that must accompany the bankruptcy-related definition of ‘defalcation.’ ”).
Prior to the Bullock decision, courts agreed that to find a debt non-dischargea-ble as arising from defalcation, the creditor had to show, by a preponderance of the evidence, two things: (1) the debt arose while the debtor was acting in a fiduciary capacity, and (2) the debt arose due to the debtor’s violation of a fiduciary duty in such capacity. See, e.g., Kubota Tractor Corp. v. Strack (In re Strack), 524 F.3d 493, 497 (4th Cir.2008). Disagreement remained, however, regarding whether the debtor had to harbor any specific mens rea in breaching such a fiduciary duty — be it an innocent mistake, intentional misconduct, or something in between. Compare Republic of Rwanda v. Uwimana (In re Uwimana), 274 F.3d 806, 811 (4th Cir.2001) (holding that for an action to be considered defalcation, it “need not ‘rise to the level of “embezzlement” or even “misappropriation” ’ ” and, instead, mere “negligence or even an innocent mistake which results in misappropriation or failure to account is sufficient.” (citations omitted)), with Antlers Roof-Truss & Builders Supply v. Storie (In re Storie), 216 B.R. 283, 288 (10th Cir. BAP 1997) (“We conclude that ‘defalcation’ under section 523(a)(4) is a fiduciary-debtor’s failure to account for funds that have been entrusted to it due to any breach of a fiduciary duty, whether intentional, willful, reckless, or negligent.”).
Thus, the Supreme Court in Bullock sought to settle this disagreement and create a uniform standard for bankruptcy courts across the country to apply when assessing the requisite mental state a debtor must possess to commit defalcation. Ultimately, the Supreme Court held that in order for a court to determine a debt non-dischargeable due to defalcation, the debtor must have committed an “intentional wrong” — -a definition in which the Supreme Court explicitly included conduct akin to criminal recklessness as defined by the Model Penal Code. Bullock, 133 S.Ct. at 1759. Specifically, Justice Breyer, writing for a unanimous Court, stated:
[WJhere the conduct at issue does not involve bad faith, moral turpitude, or other immoral conduct, the term requires an intentional wrong. We include as intentional not only conduct that the fiduciary knows is improper but also reckless conduct of the kind that the criminal law often treats as the equivalent. Thus, we include reckless conduct of the kind set forth in the Model Penal Code. Where actual knowledge of wrongdoing is lacking, we consider conduct as equivalent if the fiduciary “consciously disregards” (or is willfully blind to) “a substantial and unjustifiable risk” that his conduct will turn out to violate a fiduciary duty. That risk “must be of such a nature and degree that, considering the nature and purpose of the actor’s conduct and the circumstances known to him, its disregard involves a gross deviation from the standard of conduct that a law-abiding person would observe in the actor’s situation.
[661]*661Id. at 1759-60 (emphasis in last sentence in original) (internal citations omitted).
Since the Supreme Court announced Bullock, a number of courts have applied this heightened mens rea standard without any consensus about the proper mechanism and process for implementing it.21 The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado, in MacArthur Co. v. Cupit (In re Cupit), 514 B.R. 42 (Bankr.D.Colo.2014), describes the varied interpretations of Bullock, then dissects and thoroughly analyzes each individual element of the Supreme Court’s new mens rea requirement. This Court agrees with the Cupit court’s reasoning, and, thus, the remainder of this analysis will track that opinion closely. •
As mentioned above, the Bullock decision required the creditor seeking a determination that a debt is non-dischargeable to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the debtor’s actions rose to the level of an “intentional wrong,” which includes “reckless” behavior as defined by the Model Penal Code. Bullock, 133 S.Ct. at 1759. Accordingly, if the debtor does not intentionally or knowingly commit a wrongful act resulting in the violation of the fiduciary duty, the court must at least find that the debtor “consciously disregarded] a substantial and unjustifiable risk” that the actions could result in such a violation. Model Penal Code § 2.02(2)(c).
As discussed in the Cupit decision, importing the Model Penal Code’s definition of recklessness creates some confusion in this context, as criminal law mens rea standards generally contemplate risks associated with potentially injurious consequences to others. See Cupit, 514 B.R. at 50. The Supreme Court, in Bullock, however, seemed to disclaim the idea that injury to the beneficiaries was an element of defalcation. See Bullock, 133 S.Ct. at 1759 (“In resolving these differences, we note that this longstanding disagreement concerns state of mind, not whether ‘defalcation’ can cover a trustee’s failure (as here) to make a trust more than whole. We consequently shall assume without deciding that the statutory term is broad enough to cover the latter type of conduct and answer only the ‘state of mind’ question.”). Thus, for defalcation, the substantial and unjustifiable risk the debtor must consciously disregard is the risk the conduct might violate a fiduciary duty, rather than that of a resultant injury, loss, or harm to the beneficiary. Id.
Moreover, as the Cupit court emphasized, the Model Penal Code’s standard for recklessness requires the court to consider whether the debtor’s conduct was reckless from a subjective point of view. Cupit, 514 B.R. at 50. “[T]o meet Bullock ’s recklessness standard, there must be evidence that the debtor was subjectively aware that his. conduct might violate a fiduciary duty.” Id. Accordingly, evidence that the debtor should have been aware of the risk is not sufficient to support a finding he or she acted recklessly under the Bullock standard, as “such a finding would only support a finding of criminal negligence.”22 Id.
[662]*662Finally, the court must find that the risk the debtor consciously disregarded was “substantial” and “unjustifiable.” See Model Penal Code § 2.02(2)(c). Although the state courts in Virginia have yet to define the terms “substantial” and “unjustifiable,” other courts and the Model Penal Code commentary suggest these terms entail an objective, reasonable person assessment that the risk the actor disregarded is substantial and unjustified.23 Cupit, 514 B.R. at 52. As the court in Cupit explained, “[wjhether a risk is substantial must be determined by assessing both the likelihood that harm will occur and the magnitude of the harm should it occur.... [Wjhether a risk is unjustifiable must be determined by assessing the nature and purpose of the actor’s conduct relative to how substantial the risk is.” Id. (quoting People v. Hall, 999 P.2d 207, 218 (Colo.2000)). Put differently, in this case, the Court would have to measure the magnitude of the potential breach that may occur from Mr. Chidester’s conduct when considering whether the risked harm was substantial and unjustifiable.
This Court, once again, agrees with the reasoning of the Cupit court and will evaluate the attendant risk from a reasonable person standard. Indeed, an objective determination of the magnitude and purpose of the risk seems to be the Supreme Court’s intention in Bullock. In expounding upon how courts should assess the risks taken by the fiduciary, the Supreme Court explained, “[t]hat risk ‘must be of such a nature and degree that, considering the nature and purpose of the actor’s conduct and the circumstances known to him, its disregard involves a gross deviation from the standard of conduct that a law-abiding person would observe in the actor’s situation.’ ” Bullock, 133 S.Ct. at 1760 (quoting Model Penal Code § 2.02(2)(c)).
c) Mr. Chidester Acted Recklessly in Failing to Account
With this understanding of the Bullock ruling, in the case at bar, the Court must assess whether, construing all reasonable inferences in Mr. Chidester’s favor, any genuine issue of material fact exists regarding whether his actions were at least reckless in violating the fiduciary duties he owed to his stepfather. If the Court concludes that no reasonable juror could find that Mr. Chidester was not (1) subjectively aware of his fiduciary duty, (2) conscious that he disregarded a risk that his conduct breached his fiduciary duty, and (3) subjectively aware that such risk was substantial and unreasonable, the Court should grant Cincinnati Insurance’s motion for summary judgment. Based on the evidence in the record, and specifically Mr. Chidester’s testimony in his deposition, the Court finds that no reasonable juror could do so, and, thus, no genuine issue exists that Mr. Chidester’s conduct was at least recMess.
At the outset, the Court emphasizes that we do not find that Mr. Chidester knowingly or purposefully violated his fiduciary duties, under the Model Penal Code standards.24 According to the evidence in the [663]*663record, the Court believes a rational juror could find that Mr. Chidester did not purposefully or knowingly violate his fiduciary duties.25 Instead, the Court finds that the evidence establishes that Mr. Chidester was subjectively aware of the substantial and unreasonable risk that his failure to file the final accounting would violate a fiduciary duty, and the Court does not believe a rational juror could find otherwise. Furthermore, according to the parties, none of the aforementioned facts would be in contention, if the case went to trial.26
Specifically, the evidence shows that Mr. Chidester understood his responsibilities as conservator for his stepfather. First, Mr. Chidester testified that he was represented by counsel at his appointment hearing. Deposition, supra note 10, at 10, 16. Such representation suggests, and the Court has no reason to believe otherwise, that Mr. Chidester appreciated his duties as conservator and knew how to comply therewith. Similarly, as mentioned above, Mr. Chidester acknowledged multiple
times that he knew he needed to file a final accounting with, the Commissioner of Accounts. See id. at 9, 10, 11, 13, 16. He testified, “I had to ... every so often I had to file a report with [the Commissioner of Accounts] showing them where ... I had spent money and just like an itemized list of where money went.” Id. at 10. Furthermore, he acknowledged that “every penny that [he] spent for Mr. Clemmer had to be accounted for with the Commissioner of Accounts.” Id. at 13. Importantly, Mr. Chidester had, in fact, filed two prior accountings27 with the Commissioner of Accounts — one dated September 27, 2005, and another dated June 28, 2006. Statement of Undisputed Facts at 2, ECF Doc. No. 18. The Commissioner accepted these accountings on October 17, 2005, and January 5, 2007, respectively. Id. at 20-44.
Finally, merely two months after filing the second accounting, on August 31, 2006, Mr. Chidester went to the court to request permission to sell his stepfather’s house. Id. at 2. When questioned about how he [664]*664knew he had to get permission to sell the house, Mr. Chidester stated, “The person that bought the house told me I had to do that.” Deposition, supra note 10, at 7. Such uncontested and uncontroverted facts demonstrate that Mr. Chidester understood his responsibilities and duties as conservator and was able to comply therewith.
Furthermore, Mr. Chidester, at least superficially, understood that his duties were vitally important. According to his testimony, he “would have been negligent and in a lot of trouble if [he] hadn’t [filed the accountings.]” Id. at 10. Although he indicated in his deposition that he did not fully comprehend the purpose of the ac-countings, his testimony suggests that he did appreciate that the law required him to submit them.28 See id. at 14. Finally, he admitted that he received a correspondence from the Office of the Commissioner of Accounts, yet he ignored it. Id. at 10, 11, 15. Thus, Mr. Chidester understood the obligations his appointment entailed and, at least ostensibly, the importance thereof, and he was aware that he had yet to fully comply with these duties. Nevertheless, he admitted that he ignored and consciously disregarded those responsibilities as well as any risk failing to comply with those responsibilities might occasion.
In attempting to explain his failure to make a final accounting of his stepfather’s estate, Mr. Chidester made two claims. First, he suggested he could not submit the final accounting for his stepfather’s estate, because he did not have access to the information he needed to do so. Id. at 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14. Second, Mr. Chidester seemed to suggest that he thought his stepbrother’s appointment as administrator of Mr. Clemmer’s estate relieved him of his duties as conservator. Id. at 11. Neither of these assertions, however, is sufficient to call into question Mr. Chides-ter’s recklessness in failing to file the final accounting.
First, although Mr. Chidester claims he could not file the accounting due to losing access to his storage unit that contained all of the necessary information, such a suggestion does not raise any issues of his mental state and instead is exemplary of his recklessness. Mr. Chidester testified in his deposition that when he returned to his storage unit, where he kept all of his stepfather’s records, his stepbrother had obtained access to it and placed a lock on it. Id. at 6, 7. Instead of attempting to secure the records in another manner or contacting the Commissioner of Accounts to inform him of his predicament, Mr. Chi-dester admits he did nothing.
Mr. Chidester explained that upon discovering the lock on the storage unit, he “didn’t know what to do” and felt like “his hands were tied.” Id. at 11. The evidence, however, suggests his hands were far from tied. Mr. Chidester acknowledged that he did not go to the bank to get additional copies of Mr. Clemmer’s account records, although he was also named on the account; he testified that knew the names and locations of the nursing homes in which his stepfather resided, yet he did not attempt to contact them for the relevant information; and he knew how much he had paid himself, his wife, and his sister for their care of Mr. Clemmer, yet he did nothing to report those amount to the Commissioner of Accounts. Id. at 8, 9, 11, 13, 14. Instead, he merely stated, “I al[665]*665ready had the majority of [those records in the filing cabinet.] No, I did not go to the bank for anything else.” Id. at 11-12. Thus, there were many other avenues Mr. Chidester acknowledges he could have taken to attempt to comply with his duties as conservator.
Second, Mr. Chidester suggested that he believed he was absolved from his duties as conservator upon his brother’s appointment as administrator. Id. at 11. He testified, “I just kind of, like, figured that it was out of my hands, because they basically — if I’m not mistaken, they took— they took the conservatorship or whatever and the guardian thing away from me and gave it to [my stepbrother].” Id. at 11. He did not explain what, if anything, he did to ensure his duties were completely, satisfied and his obligations honored or what he did after receiving notice from the Office of the Commissioner of Accounts informing him of his failure to file the final accounting.29 Based on his knowledge and understanding of his responsibilities, Mr. Chidester’s failure to take any action constitutes at least a conscious disregard of a substantial risk that his actions would violate his fiduciary duties.
Ultimately, the evidence shows Mr. Chi-dester consciously disregarded a risk his actions could violate a fiduciary duty. Based on his knowledge at the time the final accounting was due, Mr. Chidester knew he had to make some kind of accounting, since he had submitted two prior accountings. Id. at 9-11, 16. Furthermore, Mr. Chidester acknowledged that he had received a correspondence from the Commissioner of Accounts, informing him that he had yet to file the final accounting. Id. at 10, 11, 15. Finally, Mr. Chidester admitted he knew that not filing the accounting was wrong and he would be in trouble for not doing it, but he readily admits that he did not do so. Id. at 10. Thus, Mr. Chidester was subjectively aware of his duties and that there was at least a possibility — i.e., a risk — that failing to file the accountings would violate his fiduciary duties, and he consciously disregarded that risk.
Next, no reasonable juror could find that the risk Mr. Chidester disregarded was not substantial and unjustified. As mentioned above, to determine whether a risk is substantial, the Court should consider the objective probability of harm resulting from the conduct and the potential magnitude of that harm. See Cupit, 514 B.R. at 52. Based on the information before Mr. Chidester, there was a considerable risk that his failing to act would violate a fiduciary duty. No information before Mr. Chidester suggested he was relieved from fulfilling his fiduciary duties, and he even received a correspondence from the Commissioner of Accounts informing him he had yet to file the final accounting. See Deposition, supra note 10, at 10,11. Even considering Mr. Chidester’s argument that he believed his brother’s position as administrator of his stepfather’s estate relieved him of his duties, there was still an appreciable risk that Mr. Chidester still had some obligations remaining.30
[666]*666Regarding the magnitude of the potential harm that might result from Mr. Chi-dester’s conduct, the only relevant harm that could result in this case is an intangi- . ble one — the violation of a fiduciary duty. Although the concept of fiduciary duties is an amorphous one to many individuals outside of the legal field, the evidence demonstrates that Mr. Chidester understood the importance of his duties as conservator. At various points in his deposition, he acknowledged that he would be in trouble if he did not comply with his duties and that it was the law that he do so. See id. at 10, 14. Thus, the risk of violating a fiduciary duty was substantial and one that Mr. Chidester understood.
Finally, the Court must consider whether Mr. Chidester’s conduct breaching his fiduciary duties was “justified.” In doing so, the Court must consider Mr. Chides-ter’s actual conduct in light of the magnitude of the harm risked. See Cupit, 514 B.R. at 52. Once again, Mr. Chidester admitted in his deposition that he could have collected the information for the final accounting from other sources, but he did not. Deposition, supra note 10, at 8, 9, 11, 13, 14. Such a failure to act, when the necessary information could be relatively easily procured with minimal effort, cannot justify a violation of fiduciary duty.31 Thus, in light of the knowledge Mr. Chi-dester possessed and based on his understanding of his responsibilities at the time, the Court holds that no reasonable juror could find that such conduct does not constitute a gross deviation from the standard of conduct that a law-abiding person would observe. See Bullock, 133 S.Ct. at 1759.
CONCLUSION
The Court GRANTS Cincinnati Insurance’s renewed motion for summary judgment and holds that Mr. Chidester committed defalcation, as defined in Bankruptcy Code section 523(a)(4) and the Supreme Court’s Bullock v. BankChampaign, N.A. decision. Ultimately, the Court finds that Cincinnati Insurance has carried its burden in proving that there exists no issue of material fact, and no reasonable juror could find, that Mr. Chi-dester did not act at least recMessly in failing to account. Accordingly, the Court grants the motion for summary judgment and finds the debt Mr. Chides-ter owes to Cincinnati Insurance non-dis-chargeable as arising from his defalcation.
The Court will contemporaneously issue an order consistent with the findings and ruling of this opinion.
