Jonzarno, I am indeed aware of this - my point is that Gritsch did not use the term "beneficial owner", only the phrase "is owned by", and the registered owner is very clearly a legal entity in its own right.

But I do take your and airpolice's point - perhaps there is/was no lying, rather just yet another terminological inexactitude.
