1 day 55 mins confidence:
a front company ('flanker-pulling' business organisation) Explanation: Coincidentally, surprisingly cognate with the (Gangster East End of London) BrE term of pulling a flanker, stroke or 'fast one', notably tricking or bamboozling a victim. Discretion forbids me elaborating 'A front company is defined as a “fully operational company with a physical presence that serves to conceal and obscure illicit financial activity.' Business organis/zation : includes a partnership, an EU-type economic interest grouping or BrE: sole trade AmE: sole proprietorship -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 days (2024-02-29 14:21:04 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- dummy corporation had, again, been *my* idea purloined, as usual, by the next respondent.
