Bankruptcy fraud is very much a crime, once which the DOJ takes very seriously.

Even if one doesn't get nailed for full-on bankruptcy fraud, the sort of scheme discussed is a classic bad faith filing, which would get booted from court and the debtor wouldn't be able to obtain a discharge... FOREVER.
