                 TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
 
                             PART I--CRIMES
 
                CHAPTER 93--PUBLIC OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
 
Sec. 1911. Receiver mismanaging property

    Whoever, being a receiver, trustee, or manager in possession of any 
property in any cause pending in any court of the United States, 
willfully fails to manage and operate such property according to the 
requirements of the valid laws of the State in which such property shall 
be situated, in the same manner that the owner or possessor thereof 
would be bound to do if in possession thereof, shall be fined under this 
title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 792; Pub. L. 103-322, title XXXIII, 
Sec. 330016(1)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)


                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based upon section 124 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Judicial Code 
and Judiciary (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, Sec. 65, 36 Stat. 1104).
    Word ``trustee'' was inserted after ``receiver'' so as to make it 
clear that persons holding such office are included in the enumeration 
of court officers who are subject to the provisions of this section.
    Changes were made in phraseology and arrangement, but without change 
of substance or meaning.
    Other provisions of section 124 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., were 
retained in that title.


                               Amendments

    1994--Pub. L. 103-322 substituted ``fined under this title'' for 
``fined not more than $3,000''.
