They should be looking into them for buying up all the competitors in domain selling. The bought two of the biggest competitors Dan.com and unregistery. Dan.com charge 9% on a sale of a domain now godaddy is charging 30%. Completely different company since Bob Parsons sold to a couple private equity firms.

Looked at my calendar to see if it was April 1st when I saw this blog post. Why in the world would CloudFlare partner with CrowdStrike unless the same CIA team thats running CrowdStrike has their hand in CloudFlare...

I’m upvoting this post simply for the amount of effort put into the article, I wish most articles were written with the same effort as this one. In saying that, I don’t think Thirl did anything wrong, Americans should take note and do as he and the other investors listed in this article do instead of trying to make them out like some type of villains.

How to Sue Amazon 2 years ago

I agree with you but it's not so much with the idea of me winning, it's more in the hopes of the EU requiring Amazon to properly label where a product is made or where its coming from. Ebay does it and other big name businesses I don't know why Amazon should be exempt from this. I understand the large majority of items on Amazon likely come from China but I would personally prefer to buy products made from US, EU, CA, MX KR, JP etc. Amazon purposly hides this information from us.

You are either sorely misinformed or highly inept on the subject.

[edit] to provide clarity. Holding assets in trusts or LLCs has nothing to do with doing anything illegal, and you will find politicians, people working in 3 letter agencies etc all do the same, we all pay taxes just like you. So attempting to leaving a comment with a critical view particularly in contexts where it might be seen as unfair, unjust, or disproportionately benefiting the already wealthy at the expense of others just shows a lack of understanding of the subject. Even though my initial comment has nothing to do with taxes I will leave you with this.

"Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands."

This quote captures the essence of tax planning and the legal right of individuals and businesses to minimize their tax liabilities within the bounds of the law. - Judge Learned Hand

No the LLC in Las Vegas has nothing to do with the corporation in Wyoming, i provided it as reference to show that one may have a business in one state but be incorporated in another to protect personal assets, it’s quit common. We could have accomplished the same by placing each property in an a Nevada LLC but Wyoming corporations are cheaper, arguably easier to manage with better protection. Both states have no State taxes.

We have a business in Las Vegas incorporated as an LLC and incorporated in Wyoming to hold real estate that we purchase overtime and leave to our kids and just yesterday we were notified that FinCen is requesting names, contact information, IDs (passport, drivers license) and percentage owned in the corporation. I would have thought they would have had all that information prior from our filings. In my eyes there’s nothing wrong with any of this, it’s all standard procedure but my assumption is that it’s all rooted from an underlying issue, the US balance sheet keeps going up and the government is looking to cross all Ts and dot all I’s on where they can collect. The underlying issue never gets fixed, that’s that the government can’t stop spending. Fix government, fixes the issue.

Agree. Everyone should be requesting to have their information deleted from their platform.

It’s not an allegation it’s a fact. Also, the point of the subject wasn’t missed this is why I lead with “not exactly the same”. To provide a bit more clarity, these dev teams often request access to the users computer through teamviewer and similar or ask to have a full working device that they can login to as to work from so essentially they’re on the persons network with a device with full access to that network. My statement never suggest anything related to the botnet. Regarding hackers, yes devs of course could be potential hackers, likely.
