holding punitive damages assessed for fraud dischargeable pursuant to subsection (a)(2), but distinguishing punitive damages assessed for willful and malicious injury pursuant to subsection (a)(6) as nondis-chargeable

How later courts described this case

  • holding punitive damages assessed for fraud dischargeable pursuant to subsection (a)(2), but distinguishing punitive damages assessed for willful and malicious injury pursuant to subsection (a)(6) as nondis-chargeable
  • holding that “comments by decision-makers that denigrate those over forty” would be sufficient circumstantial evidence of animus in an age discrimination suit
  • holding that punitive damages are nondis-chargeable under § 523(a)(6)
  • “an examination of both the language of Section 523(a)(2) and the structure established in Section 523 as a whole supports the conclusion that Section 523(a)(2), unlike Sections 523(a)(4) and 523(a)(6), does not bar discharge of punitive damages”
