Bona Fide Purchaser
commonly called BFP in legal and banking circles; a person who has purchased an
asset for stated value, innocent of any fact which would cast doubt on the right
of the seller to have sold it in good faith. This is vital if the true owner
shows up to claim title, since the BFP will be able to keep the asset, and the
real owner will have to look to the fraudulent seller for
recompense.
