English term or phrase: straw purchasing
In the past few years, the Atlanta field office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) has noticed a new trend among metro Atlanta college campuses. According to Supervisory Special Agent of the ATF Kevin Richardson, this trend is what is known as the “straw purchasing” of firearms.

“Basically, what is happening is that many college students are being targeted as straw purchasers,” said Richardson.

“The student is approached, many times by another student, to purchase a number of guns under their name, and in exchange receive a decent amount of profit to sell the guns back to the student that approached them,” said Richardson. “This ability to make a profit so easily is appealing to many students.”

Explanation:
Ivana, as duas sugestões dos colegas estão perfeitas. Porém, caso você queira o nome da figura jurídica, no Brasil chamamos de interposição fraudulenta, que consiste na compra, por terceira pessoa, de mercadoria que será entregue, mediante pagamento, ao mandante.
Bom trabalho!

comprador laranja (ou falso/intermediario)


Explanation:
Eu lembrei do termo laranja, que a polícia usa para se referir a transações feitas em nomes de terceiros (que podem ou não ganhar algum por conta da mutreta). Mas não tenho certeza absoluta que pode ser aplicado a este caso...
