From what I gather this is part of the Sovcit bullshit incantation that the person named ( in reality themselves) isn't a real person. The "real person" is someone else (also themselves in reality). The someone else (in reality themselves) is claiming an interest in the named person (again, themselves in reality). They think that by trying to concocted this extra disposable entity they can have the disposable entity take all the blame/punishment while they walk away scot-free.
This is, of course, all bullshit, and no one in the legal world buys it which is why these Sovcits suffer the consequences of their actions in the real world under the law.
It's similar logic to how a corporation or trust works eg a fictional entity that takes the responsibility, the difference being that corporations and trusts are legally recognized and sovcit stuff is not.
What's fun to note is that there are supposedly legitimate ways to use this concept for personal gain, such as creating yourself an LLC and then contracting yourself out as a contractor to do work. Weird as hell, but supposedly has some benefits in the tech world.
All supposedly. Don't know anyone personally who has done this, but have heard the idea brought up multiple times over the years in slightly more reputable online spaces than sovcit-book.
I knew a guy that did something like this. He had at least 2 LLCs, one which owned a building and the other owned a restaurant. So his building LLC rented space to his restaurant LLC, which simply never paid any rent. That way he could write off all that rent he didn't collect from himself as a loss for the building LLC. Dumbass still couldn't make the restaurant profitable even without having to pay rent.
