Laura Owens

Instead of doing a judgment debtor's exam with Greg Woodnick, Laura had now opened up her finances to a federal court, and a notoriously unforgiving one at that.

All right, this is a call on the Laura Owens case, case 25-11801.

Debtor is present.

In January 2026, Laura was ordered to appear at a meeting of creditors.

It's kind of like a mini-deposition.

Anyone who she owes money can join this call to ask Laura about her finances.

And she owed a lot of people money.

We have a lot of interested parties in the meeting, but as far as I know, we're only going to have one ask any questions.

So I'm going to go ahead and swear you in, Ms.

Owens.

Obviously, her biggest creditor was Clayton Eckerd.

Marcus is an associate at Woodnick Law.

He started by asking Laura about her income.

One of those LLCs is the Owens family's horse-flipping business.

Marcus asked her if they had any valuable assets, like horses, for example.

Despite her emotionality, Marcus continues questioning her about her bankruptcy filing.

She claimed she didn't have any assets or any current income.

But this contradicted a sworn testimony Laura gave the year prior.

It's the same deposition you heard in episode six.
