It would seem like the problem is one of the business layout and technical layout.

Organize your business and your tech correctly and you can have an owned foreign subsidiary that can comply with local laws. But things would have to be quite separate.

I doubt it, a majority owned subsidiary is usually passed through for many legal purposes.

If there's one thing I believe in, it's the ability of the rich to fabricate creative corporate structures to evade the laws of a particular jurisdiction, especially with the aid of a second jurisdiction with interest in that evasion.

Just make it complex enough to confuse juries beyond a prosecutors famously low appetite for losing and you'll be absolutely fine.

Yep, to the extent that short (at best, cause they are potentially fallible) of a warrant canary getting snuffled it is very possible that a company could set up a subsidiary for appearances.

Or, just buy bits of control interest outright (CryptoAG?)
