While I agree with the sentiment, I do not think that they are deserving of a cute name. It kinda detracts from the harm they cause.
Oligarch propaganda centers
“Ponzi scheme” or “fraud” - as many are owned by skeezy shell corps.
Example: One proposed in rural Colorado is owned by a fake corp where one guy is the entire board of directors, runs in the red, and receives millions of dollar “loans” with no loan terms from anonymous donors.
“Money vortex” is too vague.
What about “Hype Factories”?
