Police.
You are best served by contacting the US Trustees Office. They are responsible for confirming the facts of the alleged bankruptcy and administer the payment of any negotiated settlement.

The name of the individual Trustee can be found through the PACER court system, where complete documentation for the filing is available to the public.
You can also report the individual or business to the IRS and FBI.

The allegation of fraud in a complaint in a lawsuit does not prevent the discharge of the underlying claim. The creditor would have to object to discharge in the bankruptcy court on the grounds of fraud and prove to the court's satisfaction that there was fraud of the kind that bars discharge
If one files for bankruptcy in the United States, you do not have to prove that you are, and you do not have to be insolvent. Therefore, you are bankruptcy in a legal sense if you filed for bankruptcy. If you want to prove that you are NOT bankrupt all you have to show is that you have not filed for bankruptcy. If you meant insolvent, rather than bankruptcy, to prove that you are not insolvent you would have to show that your income exceeded your debts.
If there is a judgment AGAINST you for fraud, then NO, such a judgment WILL NOT be discharged.
No. This is clearly stated in the bankruptcy rules.

It depends. Any overpayments or funds received by fraud from any state or federal agency cannot be discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, or in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filed on or after October 17, 2005. If the overpayment was not the result of fraud, it will be discharged. See the case of Lee v. Schweiker, 739 F.2d 870, 874 (3d Cir. 1984). SSA or any other government agency must prove, in the bankruptcy court, that the overpayment was the result of fraud. If fraud is proved, the overpayments will not be discharged in bankruptcy, and SSA can recover the overpayment from any future benefits. Please be advised that the SSA has the option of filing a civil suit if the amount is large enough, and can file federal criminal charges if the benefits were obtained fraudulently.
For the most part yes. The only problem you could run into is if the creditor involved believes that you intentionally incurred the debt with the intention of then filing bankruptcy. If they can prove this the debt is determined to be bankruptcy fraud and nondischageable.
For most cases of fraud it is 4 years from the time that the crime is discovered. In some instances, (parallel entity fraud, concealment of assets, etc.) the fraud might be considered a continuing offense, and thus there may be no statute of limitations (especially in cases of corporate bankruptcy). The federal statute of limitations in most cases of bankruptcy fraud is 5 years from either the discharge or denial of the bankruptcy proceedings.

Intent.
Since bankruptcy fraud is a federal offense, then the statue limitations, if any, applied to the entire country.
Social Security Disability is, of course, a payment from a federal agency. While there is no rule specifically on Social Security Disability, the general rule is that any funds received from a federal agency by fraud (in a petition filed on or after October 17, 2005) cannot be discharged. If the overpayment did not occur because of fraud, it will be discharged. In order to prove fraud, the SSA must show, in the bankruptcy court, that the overpayments were due to fraud.
