Great question — yes, there are specific paths to get a Rule 2004 examination triggered, but it's important to know who can request it and what makes a request persuasive.

==== Rule 2004 is a powerful discovery tool in bankruptcy that allows investigation into: ====
* The debtor’s finances and property
* Asset transfers or business dealings
* Potential fraud or hidden income

===== - The bankruptcy trustee (most common and easiest) =====
* The U.S. Trustee
* Any creditor or party in interest, with court approval

==== ### ====

This is what you’re already doing — your group's coordinated effort (with declarations, evidence, and a complaint packet) can persuade the trustee that:
* There are legitimate concerns of fraud or concealment
* Assets may have been transferred to Clickerr
* The creditor list is falsely incomplete

: 

===== If the Chapter 7 trustee seems inactive, you can escalate by asking the U.S. Trustee to review the case. The U.S. Trustee supervises all bankruptcy trustees and enforces compliance. =====

They can:
* Pressure the trustee
* File their own Rule 2004 motion
* Refer the case for audit or fraud investigation

: 

===== This requires: =====
* Filing a motion with the court
* Paying a filing fee (typically around $188)
* Scheduling a hearing

⚠️ This is not ideal for individual members unless they have legal support. That’s why your strategy of uniting voices and submitting documented complaints to the trustee is both easier and more effective.

Would you like a template for the U.S. Trustee escalation letter or email next, just in case the trustee doesn’t act?
