Latest version.
  • If a creditor knowingly
      swears,  in  any  proceedings  authorized  by  this  article,  that  the
      petitioner is, or will become, indebted to him, in a sum of money, which
      is not really due, or thereafter to become due; or in more than the true
      amount;  or  that  more  was  paid  for  a  debt, which was purchased or
      assigned, than the sum, actually and in good  faith  paid  therefor;  he
      forfeits to the trustee, to be recovered in an action, twice the sum, so
      falsely sworn to.
