Is there a legal term for this kind of restructuring of debt?

I vibe asked it on Kagi Assistant and it said the closet relevant result is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_two-step_bankruptcy

To me it seems more like leveraged buyouts + debt restructuring all at once. I rather coin this term "debt offloading", which could also cover the cases with Enron for the tactics they used about 25 years ago

1980s even. It takes a while to siphon off all the value built up by multiple generations.
