Capitalism

Enronism
You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law

The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual
report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.
