The wash sale rule applies if, within the wash sale period, you buy replacement stock, or enter into a contract or option to acquire replacement stock. If I understand your idea correctly, you're out of luck on that basis alone — without even getting into the question of whether the IRS can disregard the sale because it isn't a bona fide transfer of ownership.
