I know VS have leased a few aircraft in the past, definately the first two 747 classics were leased. They have also leased from martinair in later on. But they own aircraft now and have 'buying rights' on 787 so that must mean they will be buying them straight from Boeing albeit making use of amortization.
I stand to be corrected if this is incorrect
You need to be corrected then, a few of the A343s are owned by Virgin, however the majority are owned by a leasing company based in LA. If you don't believe me, go on board a 747 and look on the Flight Deck crew rest door, or on an Airbus, on the wall in the flightdeck.
What the 787 deal is I've no idea.
Its pretty pointless stating something that isn't correct and then asking to be corrected.
