Most plans will not allow incoming $ once you terminate/retire.
Even if they did, moving money once you have a legal problem is too late.
Other side can challenge the validity of the transfer as being simply to evade a judgement. I could be wrong, specifically if 401k is treated differently, but generally transfers to hide money from a lawsuit are possible to challenge.
Amazingly, my plan was the rare bird that allows this after retirement. I rolled in so as to reduce my IRA basis for future Roth conversions.
Agree on trying to evade judgement by rolling in after a potential liability event occurs. They'll look back and call it out.
