Can I submit the same app to the App Store under multiple, different accounts/identities? [closed]

Question

Working for a digital agency, you get a lot of interesting requests! :)

I have a client who has asked a rather strange question:

Is it possible to submit the same app to the App Store under multiple, different accounts/identities?

So if you search for Company A in the App Store, you would get this app as a result, and if you also searched for Company B, you would also get this app as a result.

Thanks!

Read the AppStore Review Guidelines Apple recently published.

2.20 Developers "spamming" the App Store with many versions of similar apps will be removed from the iOS Developer Program

Additionally, I think it'd be wise to advise your client against such a move, as it will only cause fragmentation for the app. Apps have keywords, so perhaps you should focus there to increase search results. I think you'd run into some issues submitting the same app to the store under different developer accounts--not to mention that you have to have individual developer accounts to even attempt such submissions. It'd really be a headache.
