This section defines "debtor" for this part of the federal criminal code. A "debtor" is someone who has had a bankruptcy petition filed against them under title 11. The definition applies only within this chapter.

This is a short definitions provision. It says that wherever the word "debtor" is used in this chapter, it means a person or entity concerning whom a bankruptcy petition has been filed under title 11 of the U.S. Code (the Bankruptcy Code). This sets up the meaning of "debtor" that the bankruptcy-crimes sections later in this chapter rely on.
