missing cows.

publicly - listed company, using letters of credit opened by your
brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with associated
general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax deduction for
keeping five cows. The milk rights of six cows are transferred via a
Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company secretly owned by the
majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all seven cows' milk back to
the listed company. The annual report says that the company owns eight

to have some of this milk.
