Pretty much every major US, UK and European large business and many SMEs. Oh and Chinese and asian tiger companies are no strangers to special purpose vehicles and 'hidden' companies. And as Eric says, allegedly.

Strange the tenuous links with a certain London club

I'll tell you this, Ken Bates (he's 'our' Chairman) was in the paper standing up for the Chelsea fans yesterday p85 The Mail 27/10/11.
It was reported that he stood up to the property developers for twenty one years to secure the future of Stamford Bridge and bought the site after the 1992 stock market crash passing it on to the supporters.
He is reported to have said "Stamford Bridge is the club's heritage. I sacrificed personal profit to make sure Chelsea could continue to play at their home. It is my legacy to Chelsea fans. They own the stadium and the site and they are proud of that"
He's only been with us about a third of thatt time.
The supporters won the day yesterday by the way beating off a bid by Abramovich.
Given 21 years I wonder what his legacy would be at Leeds United
