If they wanted a legal entity with legal protection and create a brand new company sure.

You can go buy shelf companies (companies that have been previously created and are presently unused) online all day long and effectively take instant delivery however.

And if they just wanted to be blackhat about it, you can go to the IRS website and generate an EIN (tax ID for companies) in a few clicks without showing any identification or documentation and then you just need a place to receive packages or have the packages held for pickup at the carrier.

You can also just go hire random people to accept delivery or pickup your packages. Those dealing in AAS (steroids), recreational drugs, carded merchandise etc do this regularly.

Crime exists because, more often than not, it's painfully easy.

Shelf companies is an interesting approach I hadn't considered.

I wouldn't call anything you described easy, but I'm not a nation state trying to illegal smuggle banned goods. I disagree that you can churn and burn these, but you've made a good point.
