Tips for Linking Shell Companies to Their Secret Owners

Yeah, my only use of this post was to see if there was anything I could get my business removed from in the tools listed. I just don’t like people knowing where I live; various past experiences have made me hypervigilant about this. It isn’t hard to track someone down with a state and sufficiently uncommon full name.

“As soon as you run a business or have more than $X you have no right to privacy” is a position a bizarre number of otherwise normal people have, though never stated in those terms.

I have no clue how it is in the US, but can’t you simply set up a post office box to register your business?

I don't share the position you describe, but I don't think it's particularly bizarre in a capitalist society. When capital is very directly connected to the power you wield over everyone else, it's not unreasonable to wish to know the identity of the people that "control your fate." It's just the natural tension between the power of the people and the power of the wallet.
