Yeah, the idea of not KNOWING what the trustee might get a bug up his butt about is what makes everyone nervous, that and the possibility of creditors showing up (which they seem to almost never do nowadays - if they're going to object, they just call your attorney AFTER the 341, is what my attorney told me).
In our case, the US Trustee did get involved because he thought our debt was so high considering our income and so on. He really did not ask much once he realized our debt was much closer to $100k than $500k. The scary part there was that we found out that morning that the UST was going to audit our case, and so we had to sit there for an hour and a half wondering just what we were going to be asked and what the problem was. It turned out - as far as I know - the 60 days are up but we have not been discharged officially yet - that there was no real problem and the UST seemed satisfied that all was fine. But it's the NOT KNOWING that is scary. Oh, and adding to our fear was that we did have to sit there and watch one woman get GRILLED by the US Trustee. But apparently her case was very, let's say, "fishy" sounding - properties she claimed had been transferred legally and that she didn't really own anymore, etc., and the UST seemed to think there might have been some funny business.
