How can I trash my credit, file bankruptcy and get away with everything?

If this is a party-then-suicide plan. Talk to a counselor, as a bankruptcy attorney, I know that a lot of people follow the spending part then get cold feet at the suicide part. Then they are screwed up financially and depressed. If you're just planning to spend big then die naturally. Why bother to file bankruptcy? If you're going to be dead, your creditors won't bother you much in any of the major religions. I believe Bernie Sanders believes he can collect taxes from the great beyond (because there isn't anywhere else the money is going to come from once his plans crater the economy). As a rule, intent isn't a consideration in bankruptcy. If you truthfully fill out the credit application and don't spend money on luxuries in the 90 days before filing bankruptcy, then you can discharge the debts in bankruptcy. You have to avoid buying assets and just blow the money. If you buy a car or other assets, the court will seize those to pay your creditors.

Am I part of bankruptcy fraud? How?

It is at least possible that the transaction was not illegal, or not enough so to merit prosecution. For example, if she sold the real estate and her share of the proceeds was completely exempted in her BR case, and more than 30 days have passed since her Meeting of Creditors, it is unlikely that anyone, including the US Trustee or the FBI, would question the transaction. This is particularly so if she is in Chapter 13, and her rent or mortgage payments in her new lodgings are about the same amount as she paid on the mortgage. If she is paying much less, then she should file a Modified Schedule J. You may want to get a complete copy of her BR papers and bring them to a lawyer experienced in bankruptcy, who can analyse the transaction in light of all the relevant facts. Good Luck.
