    I don't see how the German tax authorities would allow this since it would completely circumvent their rules about "disguised profit payments"? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verdec…

    Sure, it's not malicious. But it is very eager to get things done, and surprisingly inventive and knowledgeable in all kinds of workarounds.
