The only thing you might be able to do, and only if the case is for fraud, is to have the attorney move to lift the automatic stay. Or if it is for fraud or larceny, you might be able to file an adversarial proceding in the bankruptcy case. Basically, if neither of these two things exist, you can do nothing against the person who filed bankruptcy. Consult with your attorney, you already have one.
