"Prominent US Bankruptcy Judge Under Investigation for Undisclosed Romantic Relationship"

Prominent bankruptcy judge David Jones has been recused from his cases and is now under investigation after it was revealed that he was in a romantic relationship with a bankruptcy attorney. The Fifth Circuit has opened an investigation, and the Office of the US Trustee has filed objections in a bankruptcy case involving Corizon, citing Jones' "admissions." Jones has voluntarily agreed to be removed from his cases pending the outcome of the investigation. The trustee's office has also raised concerns about Jones' role as a mediator and objections to the proposed settlement plan in the bankruptcy case.
