TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I--CRIMES
CHAPTER 93--PUBLIC OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
Sec. 1911. Receiver mismanaging property
Whoever, being a receiver, trustee, or manager in possession of any
property in any cause pending in any court of the United States,
willfully fails to manage and operate such property according to the
requirements of the valid laws of the State in which such property shall
be situated, in the same manner that the owner or possessor thereof
would be bound to do if in possession thereof, shall be fined under this
title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 792; Pub. L. 103-322, title XXXIII,
Sec. 330016(1)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based upon section 124 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Judicial Code
and Judiciary (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, Sec. 65, 36 Stat. 1104).
Word ``trustee'' was inserted after ``receiver'' so as to make it
clear that persons holding such office are included in the enumeration
of court officers who are subject to the provisions of this section.
Changes were made in phraseology and arrangement, but without change
of substance or meaning.
Other provisions of section 124 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., were
retained in that title.
Amendments
1994--Pub. L. 103-322 substituted ``fined under this title'' for
``fined not more than $3,000''.
