Is a contract voidable if the seller knew of the buyer's bankruptcy?

Primary text

If the seller was aware of the buyer's bankruptcy at the time of sale, the right to void the contract does not exist.

Supporting text

This ruling is based on the principle that the seller entered the transaction with full knowledge of the insolvency, which precludes the option to void the contract, unlike the case where the seller was unaware.
