In many states if you want anonymity you ALSO have to pay a lawyer to be the principal agent in addition to the registered agent.

Basically the lawyer is the CEO/“Owner” but since you pay them to do exactly as you say, they delegate everything back to you and just sign forms occasionally that you put in front of them.

I always wondered about these situations? What prevents the Lawyer from just taking off with company assets if they are the owner? If there are other contract terms limiting the lawyer and giving someone else control is the lawyer still "legally" the owner?
Bad lawyers can and do. They also end up in jail.
