Debtor testified that he met Lang at a business seminar, held at his church. He testified that he has been her mentor or father figure. (Tr. 11/20/2013, at p. 72-73).
Debtor testified that he may have previously testified at the meeting of creditors in the above captioned Chapter 7 case that he had a “dating off-and-on” relationship with Lang. (Tr. 11/20/2014, at p. 104). He testified that if he had said that, he “didn’t mean it in a way of a relationship.” (Tr. 11/20/2013, at p. 105).
G. Tax Information
At the conclusion of the trial in the instant adversary proceeding, the court directed Plaintiff to supplement the record with the IRS transcripts regarding the apparent tax filings by Debtor and AAA contained in Plaintiffs Exhibit 12. (Docket No. 176).
On June 27, 2014, Plaintiff filed a response, attaching the IRS transcripts. The IRS transcripts indicate, inter alia, that no tax returns were filed for AAA for the years 2004 and 2005. (Docket No. 194).
Conclusions of Laio
Section 727(d) of the Bankruptcy Code provides in pertinent part:
(d) On request of the trustee, a creditor, or the United States trustee, and after notice and a hearing, the court shall revoke a discharge granted under subsection (a) of this section if—
(1) such discharge was obtained through the fraud of the debtor, and the requesting party did not know of such fraud until after the granting of such discharge;
(2) the debtor acquired property that is property of the estate, or became entitled to acquire property that would be property of the estate, and knowingly and fraudulently failed to report the acquisition of or entitlement to such property, or to deliver or surrender such property to the trustee.
11 U.S.C. § 727(d).
A party attempting to revoke a debtor’s discharge under 727(d)(1) must show 1) the discharge was obtained through fraud of the debtor, 2) the party requesting the revocation did not know of the debtor’s fraud until after the discharge was granted, and 3) grounds exist which would have prevented the debtor’s discharge had they been known. United States v. Harrison, 366 B.R. 656 (S.D.Tex.2007) aff'd, 273 Fed.Appx. 315 (5th Cir.2008).
A material fraud, which would have resulted in the denial of a Chapter 7 discharge had it been known at the time of the discharge, can justify a subsequent revocation of that discharge. See Jones v. U.S. Trustee, Eugene, 736 F.3d 897 (9th Cir.2013).
The requirements of Section 727(d)(1) normally are read strictly in fa[662]*662vor of the debtor, as revoking a discharge reinstates all debts and thus wholly deprives the debtor of the fresh start that Chapter 7 is intended to give him. See In re Smith, 582 F.3d 767 (7th Cir.2009).
The plaintiff has the burden of proving sufficient facts to sustain his claim by a preponderance of the evidence. See In re Slack, 143 Fed.Appx. 628 (5th Cir.2005), citing Beauboeuf v. Beaubouef (In re Beaubouef), 966 F.2d 174 (5th Cir.1992).
The preponderance of the evidence means that the fact is more likely than not. Matter of Briscoe Enterprises, Ltd. II, 994 F.2d 1160 (5th Cir.1993).
In the instant adversary proceeding, Trustee contends that Debtor obtained a discharge by fraud, in that he concealed his ownership of AAA and the 14531 Buffalo Speedway properties, and that he made false oaths in his schédules and statement of financial affairs by omitting his ownership of AAA, his transfer of the 3213 Fuqua property, his ownership of the 4833 and 4837 Winnetka properties, and his ownership of the 14531 Buffalo Speedway property.
The evidence gives support to Trustee’s theory with respect to AAA. Prior to the formation of AAA, Debtor operated Houston Omni, with Lang as an officer. Debtor deposited over $70,000 from Houston Omni into AAA’s bank account, and offered no explanation of why he had done so. Debt- or incorporated AAA. Debtor had signatory authority over AAA’s bank accounts. Debtor used Omni Pipe & Supply Co. as an assumed name, and then AAA used a very similar name, Omni Pipe Solutions, as an assumed name. Debtor was the president of AAA. AAA employed Debtor’s brother, niece, and son. Debtor used AAA funds to pay for property taxes on his homestead, and to pay two attorneys. AAA purportedly filed tax returns signed by Debtor.
However, the evidence also gives support to the theory of Debtor and Lang, with respect to AAA. The business of Houston Omni, operating an entertainment venue, was different from that of AAA, buying and selling pipe and real estate. Both Debtor and Lang testified that Debt- or undertook numerous actions on behalf of AAA at the direction and with the authorization of Lang. Lang provided funds for AAA’s capital. AAA issued shares to Lang, but not to Debtor.
Given that the evidence supports Trustee’s theory, and also Debtor’s theory, with respect to the ownership of AAA, the court must make a determination based on the credibility of the evidence.
Debtor’s credibility is less than complete. Debtor’s testimony was primarily self-serving. Debtor’s testimony at trial was at variance with his previous testimony regarding his relationship with Lang. The court accords some weight to Debtor’s testimony.
Lang’s credibility is less than complete. Lang’s testimony was primarily self-serving. Lang was not in direct control of operations at AAA, including several years during which she resided out of town. However, the court accords greater weight to Lang’s testimony than to that of Debtor.
Vincent Blanson’s testimony was credible, with respect to the matters as to which he testified.
The credibility of the deposition testimony of Dawn Sykes is not complete. Sykes was deposed by Buckeye, without representatives of Plaintiff, Debtor or Lang present. Sykes was, according to the testimony of both Debtor and Blanson, a disgruntled former employee of AAA. Sykes also acknowledges that she has served [663]*663time in prison. The court accords little weight to Sykes’ testimony.5
The documents in the CIT and Buckeye business records, most notably including the purported AAA tax returns for 2004 and 2005, are not credible. The IRS transcript indicates that no tax returns were filed. The testimony and other documentary evidence indicate that AAA was formed in 2005. Debtor’s testimony indicates that the documents were prepared by someone other than Debtor.
In the instant adversary proceeding, the court is limited to the evidence presented. The credible evidence supports, and makes relatively equally likely, both Trustee’s theory and that of Debtor and Lang. The court concludes that Trustee has not met his burden of proof as to Debtor’s ownership of AAA.6
As to the 14531 Buffalo Speedway property, the credible evidence is that Debtor acquired the property as a nominee for AAA, and that AAA paid the purchase price. The court concludes that Trustee has not met his burden of proof as to Debtor’s ownership of the 14531 Buffalo Speedway property.
As to the 4833 Winnetka and 4837 Winnetka properties, the only evidence supporting Trustee’s theory is that Debtor purportedly pledged the properties to secure a loan. There is no evidence of Debt- or’s ownership of the properties. The court concludes that Plaintiff has not met his burden of proof as to Debtor’s ownership of the 4833 Winnetka and 4837 Win-netka properties.
As to the 3213 Fuqua property, the evidence is that Debtor received a transfer of the property from Lang, for no consideration, and transferred the property back to Lang, also for no consideration. The transfer from Debtor to Lang was disclosed in Debtor’s Statement of Financial Affairs. The court concludes that Plaintiff has not met his burden of proof as to Debtor’s ownership of the 3213 Fuqua property,7 concealment of the property, or false oath, with respect to the 3213 Fuqua property. The court concludes that Trustee has not met his burden of proof with respect to revocation of discharge.
In the complaint, Trustee seeks avoidance and recovery of the allegedly fraudulent transfer of the property located at 3213 Fuqua.
Section 548(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides in pertinent part:
(a)(1) The trustee may avoid any transfer (including any transfer to or for the benefit of an insider under an employment contract) of an interest of the debt- or in property, or any obligation (including any obligation to or for the benefit of an insider under an employment contract) incurred by the debtor, that was made or incurred on or within 2 years before the , date of the filing of the petition, if the debtor voluntarily or involuntarily&emdash;•
(A) made such transfer or incurred such obligation with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any entity to which the debtor was or became, on or [664]*664after the date that such transfer was made or such obligation was incurred, indebted; or
(B)(i) received less than a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for such transfer or obligation; and
(ii)(I) was insolvent on the date that such transfer was made or such obligation was incurred, or became insolvent as a result of such transfer or obligation;
(II) was engaged in business or a transaction, or was about to engage in business or a transaction, for which any property remaining with the debtor was an unreasonably small capital;
(III) intended to incur, or believed that the debtor would incur, debts that would be beyond the debtor’s ability to pay as such debts matured; or
(IV) made such transfer to or for the benefit of an insider, or incurred such obligation tó or for the benefit of an insider, under an employment contract and not in the ordinary course of business.
11 U.S.C. § 548(a).
To determine actual intent to defraud under Section 548(a)(1), courts have identified several “badges of fraud”: (1) the lack or inadequacy of consideration; (2) the family, friendship or close associate relationship between the parties; (3) the retention of possession, benefit or use of the property in question; (4) the financial condition of the party sought to be charged both before and after the transaction in question; (5) the existence or cumulative effect of the pattern or series of transactions or course of conduct after the incurring of debt, onset of financial difficulties, or pendency or threat of suits by creditors; and (6) the general chronology of events and transactions under inquiry. In re Soza, 542 F.3d 1060 (5th Cir.2008). Not all, or even a majority, of the badges of fraud must exist to find actual fraud. Id.
In the instant case, Debtor had title to the 3213 Fuqua property during the two years before the date of filing of the petition. Debtor transferred the property to Lang approximately two months before filing bankruptcy, for no consideration. There is some evidence of a close personal relationship between Debtor and Lang. The evidence reflects that, notwithstanding transfers of ownership, AAA remained in possession of the property. The court infers that the financial condition of Debtor was such that he could not obtain a personal loan without having the property (and in fact, was unable to obtain a loan, even with the property). The evidence is insufficient as to the financial condition of Lang. The evidence shows a pattern of Lang’s.and Debtor’s transferring property between themselves to bolster efforts to obtain financing. Lang and Debtor were directors and officers of businesses ostensibly owned first by Debtor and then by Lang. The court concludes, based on the totality of circumstances, that Debtor had the intent to defraud creditors when he transferred the 3213 Fuqua property to Lang.8 The court concludes that Trustee should recover the 3213 Fuqua property, or its value, for the benefit of the bankruptcy estate.9
[665]*665With respect to the requests for declaratory judgment, Plaintiff has not met his burden of proof as to his assertions that AAA is owned by Debtor, or that the property at 14531 Buffalo Speedway is owned by Debtor. Plaintiff has met his burden of proof as to the assertion that the properties located at 4833 Winnetka and 4837 Winnetka are owned by AAA. The court concludes that the properties located at 4833 Winnetka and 4837 Winnetka are owned by AAA.
Based on the foregoing, a separate conforming Judgment will be entered.
