🕳️ Released Phantom Node 95: Ras Al Khaimah Free Zone (RAK FTZ). The Shadow Register
- Foundation date
22 December 2025
This project is a philosophical and artistic study of the phenomenon of "phantom nodes" — invisible yet influential objects and subjects in the contemporary global system. The descriptions contained within this study are metaphorical and allegorical, aimed at uncovering systemic problems, regimes, and civilisational influences. They are not a journalistic investigation or legal accusations, but serve as an artistic interpretation of reality.
Names are included because they appear in open international sources.

🕳️ Released Phantom Node 95: Ras Al Khaimah Free Zone (RAK FTZ). The Shadow Register
An incubator for shadows. A place where names turn into paper dust.
Who is this?
Ras Al Khaimah Free Zone (RAK FTZ), now integrated into RAKEZ, is a special economic zone in the UAE that has become a key mechanism for the mass creation of shell companies. It is systematically used to conceal ultimate beneficial owners, including individuals linked to sanctioned regimes. Here, real accountability dissolves into legal labyrinths.
Type of node:
Financial and legal infrastructure
Status:
Outside effective international oversight
Form of control:
Offshore regimes, nominee services, registration conveyor systems
Phantom image:
An endless archive of nesting dolls, each layer hiding another
What remains after the phantom:
Emptiness, fog, a nameless stamp
Core of the node:
What sustained it?
The absence of public UBO registries, political protection, simplified incorporation procedures, and fragmented global regulation.
How did it become a phantom?
When legal entities fully detached from physical accountability, the zone transformed from a service into a symbol of anonymous capital.
Why does the phantom still exist?
Because the global financial system still tolerates blind spots in exchange for speed and profit.
Phantom’s condition:
Active, replicated, institutionally shielded
After the regime:
Uncovering multi-layered corporate concealment schemes
Dismantling shell companies and nominee structures
International investigations and legal proceedings
Restoration of global financial transparency standards
Cleansing of ownership and corporate registries
Collective reaction:
We no longer accept anonymity as a norm.
Without names, there is no responsibility.
Without responsibility, there is no peace.
Core principle:
Anonymous capital always seeks fog.
Exposure begins with naming the place.

🫧 Phantom Node Dossier 95: Ras Al Khaimah Free Zone (RAK FTZ). The "Corporate Invisibility and Legal Fog" Regime.
Key Aspects of the Phantom:
"The Black Hole of Beneficial Ownership." RAK FTZ (now RAKEZ) serves as the ultimate sanctuary for creating complex corporate "Matryoshka dolls." The core function of this node is to sever the link between Russia’s blood money and its ultimate owners. It is a legal "stealth shield" that allows sanctioned individuals to hold global assets while remaining invisible to international investigators.
Regimes:
🌫️ Regime of Legal Fog: Creating conditions where identifying the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) is virtually impossible for foreign regulators.
🛡️ Regime of Offshore Inviolability: Providing political and legal protection to companies used for sanction evasion and money laundering.
📜 Registration Automaton Regime: Streamlined and accelerated procedures for mass-producing shell companies with no real economic substance.
🕵️ Identity Vacuum Regime: The absence of public registries, turning the zone into a safe for which only local sheikhs and GRU/FSB agents hold the key.
Tools:
📦 Shell Corporations: Legal entities with no employees or physical offices, designed solely for capital transit.
👥 Nominee Services: Utilizing local proxies or professional "directors" as the formal face of the business.
🏢 Virtual Offices: Providing a single legal address for hundreds of Russian-linked firms to simulate international operations.
🕸️ Multi-layered Ownership: Chains of ownership spanning multiple jurisdictions, with RAK acting as the crucial "blind spot."
Civilizational Influences:
📉 Death of Financial Accountability: Undermining global transparency standards through the existence of parasitic secrecy zones.
☣️ Institutionalized Sanction Evasion: Turning UAE state policy into a service that assists the aggressor in avoiding responsibility.
🌍 Global Corruption Infection: Spreading the culture of anonymous capitalism, which erodes trust in the international financial system.
🩸 Indirect War Funding: Providing the mechanisms through which the wealth of the Russian elite continues to support the military machine.
