New York Consolidated Laws, Debtor and Creditor Law - DCD § 32. Effect of concealment

Any secured creditor who with intent to evade the provisions of this article fails to disclose the existence of the security shall not be entitled to receive or retain dividends out of the general assets, unless he thereafter releases or surrenders to the liquidator the security which he has failed to disclose, or unless he procures such release or surrender if the security is in the possession of an indorser, surety, or other person secondarily liable for the insolvent debtor.
