A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, a “man of straw” refers to a person who is used as a front or a nominal party in a legal transaction or proceeding, but who has little or no assets or resources to fulfill any obligations or liabilities that may arise from such transaction or proceeding. This term is often used in the context of fraudulent schemes or attempts to avoid legal responsibilities by using a person who is financially insolvent or otherwise unable to meet their obligations.
Example: The company was found to be a sham, with a man of straw as its CEO.
