I wonder how that business would work.

Do you have a list of "candidates" that are willing to go to jail for a certain price? Or would you get a client first, then try to find someone who looks like them, and then offer the person some amount of money to go to jail?

Both seems tricky, the 2nd one if the body double is not reliable they can go to the cops and everything falls apart.

The thing is, in China being rich and powerful usually means being connected to the upper echelons of the government and military. It's not as risky if you can tell the second guy "...either way, keep your mouth shut or all your organs will be in different people by the end of the week."
