The judgment becomes an asset of the bankruptcy estate at that time, which the Chapter 7 trustee may decide to try to collect from you or sell to a third party, including you. That means that you could try to purchase it from the Trustee ideally for less than the full amount awarded. If the Chapter 7 Trustee does not administer the judgment, it reverts back to the Debtor, who can then collect from you.
