    Given all the financial fuckery and declining civil rights protections, plenty of legitimate people need criminal level Finance protection so I am super happy about this. It gives us equal footing with the big leagues again

    This so obviously xenophobic propaganda. As if we don’t have our own homegrown shitheels who will abuse this FAR AND AWAY more than the foreigners. This is direct gift to the AMERICAN oligarchs specifically. That is no better for you, the peasant, but it is not foreigners coming here to ruin shit. We are perfectly capable and willing to do it to ourselves it seems.

      I actually think that was a poorly placed idea to intended to wake up the right and ruffle some feathers. Problem is they themselves will want in on the action

      So you’re telling me that messaging can affect people. Interesting, I thought people could just opt out by wanting to real hard! /s

    This is the part where the senate and congress make themselves completely obsolete by continuing to legalize corruption. Where have I seen this before?

    Huh, right after they limited the number of houses a corporation can own, they make it legal for a corporation to hide how many houses they own.

      There was recently a report from NPR about kushner and his dealings in albania.

      She compares her investigation to opening a set of Russian matryoshka dolls, one after another. She’s discovered several of the shell companies share the same address in Amsterdam and that each of them is worth a single euro.

      They lead to the smallest matryoshka doll, a company named Interroyal BV, established with 18,000 euros in 2004 by a Russian citizen named Nikita Maximovich Vinogradov and a Bulgarian citizen named Zoya Georgieva Gyurova. Cela says each controls 25% of the company, but she says she hasn’t been able to track either individual down. Neither has a public profile, but, on paper at least, she says the mysterious pair owns hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of Albanian property

      Well you see, now they themselves can spin up shell companies legally without having to be on the hook personally when said company does reprehensible shit.

        Plus there’s demand for Congress to stop making money on insider knowledge. This allows them to hide that so much better.

        Helps anonymize all bribes too. Like the ones that control all of our politicians. As if our republic wasnt already on fire, this pours more gasoline all over it and sticks knives in everyones back. Happy end of the republic day everyone.

      Well you see, it benefits the ultra rich and corrupt politicians while causing more harm to the poor and middle class. What is more sensible than that?

      This is just extending the rights the CIA has to private businesses so it’s more just leveling the playing field and allowing global Capital to directly do ops instead of needing to use government apparatus to do so.

    You know what…okay. I’d love to have a shell company. Who wants to start scamming magrats? I only need like 12 people to make sure we get liability protections.
