anonymous shell companies
Anonymous shell companies refer to legal entities, typically corporations or limited liability companies (LLCs), that are created for the purpose of hiding or disguising the true ownership and control of assets. These entities are often registered in jurisdictions with lax regulations that enable their beneficial owners to remain anonymous. They are commonly used for various illicit activities, such as money laundering, tax evasion, corruption, and illicit financial transactions, as they can obscure the identities of individuals or entities involved in those activities.
