"you are held in contempt of the bankruptcy court and will actually get to go to jail."
And without a jury trial. You don't get a jury trial for "trivial" sentences, which is six months or less. "Trivial."

direct criminal contempt or indirect criminal contempt?
Bankruptcy judges are not Article 3 judges as listed in the constitution. They do not have a lifetime appointment (at least on paper).
Contempt is to protect the integrity of the court and the standards are fairly clear. (ie you must be warned first)
