Interestingly this is apparently how some corrupt russian government officials like to hide/park their dirty cash/bribes etc. funnel money/bribes/transfer assets into "charities", then have charities buy/own the assets you are interested in owning... houses, yachts etc. Then they have interesting situations where on paper a charity owns a villa ... but in reality a high profile politician lives in it. This is charity abuse taken to the extreme, but i have a feeling russians have copied the approach from their western counterparts. https://themoscowtimes.com/news/prime-minister-medvedevs-supposed-secret-empire-is-russias-biggest-charity-group-57820 https://themoscowtimes.com/news/prime-minister-medvedevs-sup...
