Strictly hypothetical questions:

Bankruptcy trustees and creditors subject cc cash advances to special
scrutiny. Is that same scrutiny given to the purchase of large gift
certificates from stores that allow gift certificates to be cashed in?
Is the purchase of money orders or travelers checks, (subsequently
cashed, avoiding large cash advance fees) viewed with more-than-usual
suspicion? Let's say, for the sake of discussion, these hypothetical
payouts were taken 16-18 months before filing, and total $50,000+ from
seven credit cards.
