This isn't about whether you should file for bankruptcy, but I'd be careful about running around saying someone gambled money and "snorted drugs", or you could have them filing a lawsuit for defamation if it becomes obvious who you are talking about.
Civil defamation usually does protect the reputation of some really bad people and silence others so they can't talk about them, but the damages can be severe and not necessarily dischargeable. The upside of talking smack about people is almost never worth it.
I had a landlord once who threatened to file a defamation lawsuit against me for posting a review of him that said he rented to someone who had vicious dogs and parked blocking the entrance so I couldn't get my car in and out. 
I asked an attorney for advice, they said just don't ever say bad things about people in public.
