In a recent ruling, a federal bankruptcy judge denied anti-government activist Ammon Bundy the ability to discharge a $52 million civil judgment through bankruptcy. The judge sided with St. Luke’s Health System, determining that Bundy’s actions in defaming the hospital network were “willful and malicious,” a key factor preventing debt discharge. This decision stems from Bundy’s 2022 claims that St. Luke’s was involved in child trafficking, accusations that led to the original defamation lawsuit and a default judgment against him. The court cited Bundy’s failure to engage in the initial Idaho trial as a factor in the ruling, effectively upholding the original judgment and preventing him from avoiding accountability through bankruptcy.
