- willvarfar 4y agoWait, what?! How can you have cycles in an ownership graph? Ah, answering my own question, it seems to be called "circular ownership" and while it can sometimes occur from a long history of mergers and acquisitions (Samsung seems to be such a case), its generally a tax dodge or to mask ownership? At least, the top hits I see are all talking about it as a classic way to obscure oligarch ownership and things. Genuinely curious who actually gets to make the decisions.
