declaring bankruptcy in washington state

How can I earn from a bankrupt person is about to explain?

This person is U.S. dollars payment on a house, refused 40 000 to the Title transfer, or tell the bank about the deposit and the bank the house excluded. The person now refuses to return the $ 40K deposit. Yes, I have a lawyer, yes, I'm suing the crooks and yes, I know now that the $ would have a trust account may not be paid to the "seller" given. But I would appreciate any advice you might have, and my lawyer is the kind of guy who would not be offended by any suggestions. This case is in the State of Washington. You can e-mail me if you (via Yahoo Answers) and wish yahoo undertakes to your email address. Thank you!

Keep on top of the bankruptcy, your 40k should be a secured claim and you should have a good chance with the judge you get paid.
