In re Zandford
The debtor filed a petition to disallow a proof of claim filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The debtor argued that under the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, 31 U.S.C. § 3701 et seq., the SEC had no standing to assert the claim.
Claim based on civil judgment for securities law violations was nondischargeable whether or not allowed.
