They could subpoena the contents of the sdb if they become aware that you have one. Then they can possibly jail you on contempt of court if you fail to tell them, then if you tell them they could possibly seize whatever is in there and if you lose or other wise dispose of it then you are guilty of fraudulent conveyance.
Best bet is the mattress or a business you work for part time as a consultant for, they can't garnish below a certain amount and since you don't own it and they can't include the business then your cash is safe.
You can to my understanding keep up to $1750 in a bank account at any given time without the worry of it being seized. Check for a source for the exact $$.
Otherwise you could invest it in a permanant life insurance policy which you are the benificiary of but not the owner of, it works great with a relative so if they die you get more $ and it can be set up so they can't touch the cash value. It's creditor proof since it's not yours but a loan can be taken against it at any given time.
Personally I like the business idea and mattress better since they are more liquid.
To each his own but pretty much make it seem like going after you would be a losing bet. Like you live with friends, have no car and work at mcdonalds.
