OP what exactly did you find out to solve this issue? I would appreciate to get some input from you! Also if you found a provider of passports and second citizenship for some low budget I would liek to know that too.
That is exactly what they are going to do! They are owned by a real bank that has to comply to international and EU regulations so there is no way around it!
You can simply use darks (which I noted you don't want to use) or find a trust service that handle all transactions on behalf of you and only your instructions, that may be costly but safe!
