Based on the respondent's continual efforts to assist the debtors in filing petitions, while accepting compensation, and for giving them inappropriate legal advice, the Court found that the respondent acted as a petition preparer under Bankruptcy Code section 110(e). Â Accordingly, the Court fined the respondent a total of $8,000 for his actions as a petition preparer and issued a permanent injunction against him to refrain from acting as a petition prepaarer in the future, based on his "continually engaging" in such improper acts.
