John T. Lu

Glaring lack of knowledge concerning MGL 142a and truly startling inability to read and interpret simple financial statements. Bizarre and borderline unhinged behavior throughout the proceedings didn't help. Having prosecuted and prevailed in the related adversary proceeding in BK court where the judge was financially fluent, watching Lu struggle to understand a simple (schedule of business property sales) tax return was painful and surprising. Ironically, an appellate decision concerning the same issue was released right after his rulings and contradicted every one of his findings. His retirement will strengthen the system considerably.
