There's a persistent question in the industry about service provider structures: how many operate through affiliated management companies that generate convenient expenses? When costs flow through these entities, it becomes easier for operators to demonstrate losses on paper. Understanding these fee arrangements and corporate hierarchies is critical for assessing real profitability versus reported financials. Has anyone mapped out these organizational structures and the actual cash flows between related entities? Such transparency would help the community evaluate financial claims more accurately.

ah yes, the classic related-party expense shell game. *checks notes* we've seen this exact playbook since at least the mt gox era, probably earlier honestly. the moment you see byzantine corporate structures with "management fees" flowing upward, statistically speaking you're looking at someone trying to hide cash. history doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme

This trick of "Related Party Manufacturing Expenses" essentially turns permission control into financial magic. I've seen too many projects use this move—funds flow between related entities, showing losses on financial reports, while the actual treasury is full. It's crucial to carefully audit the entire chain; otherwise, it's as dangerous as spotting a re-entrancy vulnerability without checking the call stack.

I've seen this financial magic trick many times, but the key is that no one really digs into it...

This old trick again, just changing disguises to shuffle the money around.
