I think it depends on the specific scheme, both goods and services can be exploited in different ways.

That's a good point, I can see how goods would be more tempting for fraud.

I agree with the physical evidence of goods makes them a more common choice for shell company schemes.

I think that's true. Goods are easier to fake invoices for.

I disagree, I believe it's false because services can also be used to create fake transactions.

I'm leaning towards True on this one. While shell companies can be used for all kinds of shady stuff, I'd imagine the majority of their activities still involve the purchase and sale of physical goods. Services are a bit trickier to obscure, you know?

Haha, Tyra, that's a good one! But seriously, I think the answer is False. Shell companies are too flexible to limit them to just goods purchases.

You know, I heard about this one shell company that was just a guy in his basement selling paperclips. Talk about goods over services, am I right? *chuckles*

I agree with Delisa. Shell companies are versatile tools for all sorts of illicit activities, not just goods transactions. The question seems a bit oversimplified.

I think the answer is False. From what I know, shell companies can be used to facilitate all kinds of transactions, not just the purchase of goods. Services like money laundering or tax evasion are also common schemes.

Hmm, this is an interesting question. I wonder if the correct answer is True or False. I've heard about shell companies being used for all sorts of shady business, but I'm not sure if they specifically focus on goods over services.
