I don't see what could be gained from nesting VPNs because you're identifying yourself to the innermost VPN. Tor is designed so that exit nodes don't know who you are.

Say you did 5 vpns, you'd need all 5 companies to respond correct?

I imagine you could pick a few Anti US government VPNs and at least 1 wouldn't cooperate.

No, just the last one (the one which outputs your traffic).

Assuming it's a commercial VPN it has your billing data and doesn't matter that you connected to it via another VPN.
