Isn't this just a way to avoid gift and inheritance taxes or whatever so you can shuffle wealth towards the next generation tax free?

Nah. US citizens get an $11M lifetime exception (per gifting individual) and if you’re leaving more than that then you get people to construct easier schemes to manage than laundering money through a Shopify store.

They're Australians, but yeah this seems a lot less like structuring wealth transfers and a lot more like a psychopath of a mom using her kids as marketing and branding material. Like the fact that she seems to consider her PR firm to be her "primary" business, and how the article lists several times they "made headlines" by doing something ~outrageous~ etc. really points to something beyond "setting up legal machinery to avoid paying taxes".

Quite right, in which case there are no gift taxes to worry about at all.

I question the PR skills of somebody who thinks sweaty Betty is an appealing name but I guess it’s working out for her

Yeah if you have done anything active or it's an especially hot day you might describe yourself as a "Sweaty Betty", it's pretty normal (for certain values of normal)

Sorry I skipped a few steps there - it's common in the UK, where Sweaty Betty the clothes company started, and which according to wiki the Sweaty Betty PR company is named after. Although there doesn't seem to be any connection between the 2 companies so it's mystifying in a different way

The butt implant theory someone suggested is probably pretty close.
It was the first Google image search result for my title which is a partial quote from a thread where some goon (not me) tried to devil's advocate a clear cut case of sexual assault with an explanation that was equal parts misogyny and racism.

It's funny how the only reason this was a surprise to anybody was which side of the digital divide it was on. Like literally every single thing he did that didn't pass muster with Nickelodeon censors was insanely depraved and horny, but nobody saw it because there was no YouTube or Patreon and the like

Ren and Stimpy was pissing off the Nick censors so much that other shows got away with poo poo because it wasn't as bad in comparison
