Disclosure of bank account - Debtor has unique line o=

It sounds like it is his money. It seems me that the money is no different than
inventory, so it is no different than any other business.

And sounds like the account IS his money. From the comment that the bank "pays
him back" when withdrawals are made, it sounds like he is effectively making
short term loans to the bank, who I would assume then pays him back with a small
percentage fee of the withdrawals for his trouble.
