Who’s buying up land around major Air Force base in California? ‘We have no idea’

A mysterious investment company is buying up large tracts of land around a California Air Force base, raising questions about who is behind the firm — and its intentions — amid growing fears about Chinese businesses acquiring land near American military sites.

The investment firm Flannery Associates has bought around $800 million worth of land around Travis Air Force Base in northern California’s Solano County, which is midway between Sacramento and San Francisco.


Flannery Associates filed a lawsuit in May against a group of landowners, accusing the farmers of conspiring to inflate the value of the property — drawing further scrutiny from policymakers including Rep. John Garamendi (D-Calif.).

Not for one second do I believe people don't know who's buying the land.

Somebody might, ultimately, but that is one of the weak spots of U.S. corporate records - it can be very difficult to find out who is actually the ultimate mover and shaker - the ultimate beneficial owner - in a complex web of corporate shell companies.  Unlike in Europe, and a lot of the rest of the world, there is no requirement that an entity submit a list of its current owners to a corporate registry that can be queried by other people.
