Incidentally, it does nothing to limit the ability of corporations to file for a ch. 11 reorganization, screw their shareholders, pensioners, and employees, then walk out of court with a nice clean balance sheet.

But thankfully, it continues to allow one to sock away tons-o-bux in opulent homes and then shelters that asset from creditors. Similarly, if one's assets reach that critical mass at which expensive legal help becomes cost-effective, one can easily set up a sheltered trust, fund it with as much as you want, declare BK, and continue to exercise complete discretion and control over the trust.
It's good to be king.
