Now the cash disappears.

What's the creditor going to do when he gets a judgment a year or two from now?

A fraudulent conveyance only really works when you can sue the transferee, i.e., the person who took the asset. Like if you had a house and you transferred it to your mom.
To answer what I have emphasized in bold above, make that person's life miserable for as long as the creditor wants? The "making the cash disappear" part is the problem, IMO.

Personally, I would not recommend the scenario you have outlined above and I am not assuming you are recommending it either.
