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?)
