Not quite the same.

If that money is going to himself when he puts it in there. If in fact he's overseeing a company so that it does the right things in terms of offsetting then it's actually a shrewd move and one that insures the money goes where he feels the money is needed.
It's kind of like the Flames donating money to The Flames Foundation. Yes they're giving it to themselves, but the actual money is going where it's needed. No one accuses them of bad practices.
