I bet the answer is somewhere in the realm of 'if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is'.

This is like a game of 'spot the money-laundering loophole'! I'm going to have to really think outside the box on this one.

I'm not sure about option B though. A private company with no activity in a tax haven jurisdiction might still have some risks.

I agree with Ricarda. Companies with nominee shareholders, bearer shares, and strict secrecy laws are definitely riskier.
