There is currently a huge trucking/ logistics company trying to buy up thousands of acres in my rural county. There is massive protest against it due to the inevitable increase in semi-truck traffic on local roads.

The logistics company uses “dummy” corporations to buy the land so locals don’t actually know they own it/ how much they have already accumulated. They’ll also transfer the deeds to other “dummy” corporations. Some of the LLCs have pretty funny names. Many are registered in a different state.

This is totally legal and sneaky.
