and I think the law would regard that as a fraud, a work of fiction, and the legal effect would be that you as the grantor or settlor of the trust have REVOKED IT (which you generally can do, during your lifetime). You revoked it, and the property of the trust became your personal individual property, and then you sold that stuff to the new buyer. ATF could prosecute you for not doing Form 4 transfers and paying the tax on that transfer back to yourself.
