A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, a “sham” refers to something that is fake, false, or deceptive. It can refer to a fraudulent or deceptive act or scheme designed to deceive others. In the context of law, a sham transaction or agreement is one that is not genuine or legitimate, but is created to give the appearance of legality or compliance with the law.
Example: The defendant created a sham company to hide his assets from creditors during the bankruptcy proceedings.
