It's actually not, because it's a non-issue. The privacy of a Wyoming LLC doesn't mean protection. Your name isn't on any of the public records documents, but a court order can still force the disclosure of the interested parties.

Having to go through getting a court order sounds like an issue for this non issue.
Why should that be a thing? More cheesy obfuscation games to protect some random a-hole?
These rich who don’t want to be on the hook for other’s healthcare sure make a lot of demands of everyone else.
Covid just taught us we can stand to shed a few million and be fine. Purge the rich.
If no one else is on the hook for my life story fuck theirs.

Not everyone has to be rich to want/need privacy. Maybe you had threats against your life and dont want your house and vehicle to be traceable to your name. Maybe you disagree with the automated license plate reader/tracker and this is one of the only legal ways around that.

It’s only a non-issue only if you have legal standing and the wherewithal/funding to push through to discovery, which in this case is a really (in)convenient catch-22 if you’re a constituent who wants to institute reform.
The fourth estate, the one that we ostensibly trust to hold power to account, again very conveniently, does not generally have that standing, FOIA excepted.

If one doesn't have standing, then what business do they have with it?

Public policy? Democracy? Accountability and transparency?
You know, all that good stuff.

Lol yes, we should doxx your financial account information for these purposes? Why don't you try forming a real argument.

My home purchases are already public records. As are most normies. We can't all afford LLCs and other corpo shell games to hide behind.
