Loyal Planet Money listeners may remember Willow Tufano, the Florida teenager who bought a house. We did a show about her back in March.

On today's show, we follow up with Willow. She just bought another house. She's trying to land a reality TV deal. And she recently wore a Pikachu costume on a trip to Alabama.

Earlier this summer, we set up two shell companies in tax havens. On today's show, we continue our quest to figure out what people actually do with shell companies.

We discover the world of "Asset Protection," which is a fancy way of saying "hiding money." It's a world of Latvian companies and offshore conferences, of people trying to hide money from their future-ex-husbands and future-ex-wives.

Note: Today's show is a re-run. It originally ran in April, 2011.
