You sell three of them to your  publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at  the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so  that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows.

The annual report says the company owns eight  cows, with an option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new president of the  United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the  release.  The public buys your bull.
