@Mr.Toilet I mean, it's simplier than that even. Open numbered bank accounts in tax-free havens and connect local banks in each country to those numbered accounts through a foundation, trust, or island incorporation. Hire a law firm out of some non-extradition country like the UAE to sit on the board and then spend 30 minutes out of each week teleporting a few thousand shipping containers between the USA, China, and the UK. Even if your shell company gets shut down, you'll have made billions in revenue that can't be locked down and can't be traced. Since you aren't operating any ports, your shipping methods can't be traced and thus your goods can't be confiscated for violating any laws.
It would really just take longer to set this whole thing up than it would to make money doing it later. Once it's setup, you'd be making billions each month as long as it continues to operate. Honestly, if you got into the business of shipping lumber, diamonds, oil or gold you could make all of this money faster but you'd probably pi** off people a lot faster than just operating a mysterious shipping company.
For reference, shipping a single 20ft shipping container costs around $5k (depending on where it is going up to $10k). A large cargo vessel can move about 20k shipping containers. That means that the MC could make around $100 million for each cargo "run" he makes.
