[BK] Is inventory "tools of the trade?"
Posted: Thu Jun 22, 2017 2:52 pm
I can tell I have no slept in a while. I could have been clearer. It
appears that the LLC owns the inventory, so I'm not sure what I was
thinking trying to exempt it in a personal case. In Idaho, I can't exempt
the equity in the LLC but there doesn't appear to be any, so perhaps, the
individual debtor is okay filing without worrying about the LLC's
inventory.
Joshua, yes, I meant pierced in that way.
