      Sounds perfect, do it. I wanna see your income statement when you own 20 apartments.

        Don’t remember what the business was but there have been cases of businesses using individuals names on paperwork, saying they own the business, but that person has zero responsibility and gets no pay for it. Probably it was on an episode of Last Week Tonight.

      Right. And tax fraud is a crime, so then could be massively fined or locked up for it.

          That’s not actually what those words mean, although I understand what you’re saying. Also, if you’re trying to imply that fines cannot be used to greatly dissuade various undesirable behaviors, the real world would disagree with you.
