There are many ways to appoint nominees, and, more importantly, to find nominees who actually align with your business needs. I fully agree that there's always a residual risk when using nominees, but if you limit the activity of︀ the company to simple trading and avoid storing significant assets in it, instead routing funds︁ to a more secure structure, then that risk is significantly reduced.
We have far too︂ little information about how people are actually using these companies: where and how they're set︃ up, what purposes they serve, and what kind of nominees are involved.
Each of these︄ points could easily branch out into ten more questions unless things are clearly defined and︅ made concrete.
