Problem on debtor-creditor relationship


In 2007, John (a single taxpayer) loaned $10,000 to his friend Gregory. In 2013, Gregory declared bankruptcy, with the result that the debt became totally worthless. How should John treat the loss relating to this debt (assume that the debt is a nonbusiness debt that is a bona fide debt that arose from a debtor-creditor relationship)?
