Vaughn v. United States IRS (In re Vaughn)

Ruling
Debt properly held nondischargeable due to debtor's willful tax evasion.
Issue(s)
Did the district court impermissibly employ "a 'holistic' review of the evidence to affirm the bankruptcy court's willful evasion determination" and was the bankruptcy court's finding that the debtor willfully attempted to evade his tax obligations erroneously based on negligent, rather than willful, conduct?
