Absolutely not. Any action such as this that is designed to thwart the rights of creditors is not permitted and if you did attempt to do something like this the transaction would be immediately overturned by the bankruptcy court, would still vest in the trustee and all you successfully accomplised is you will have committed an offense under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and will likely not be eligible for a discharge from bankruptcy.
