Suppose I start a publicly traded LLC with a fixed address and

If you could somehow pull off this con, you'd still need to pay tens of thousands in fees to get listed on the market.

It's like everything else that makes money, in that it requires money

That sounds odd.
You can buy everything under the sun directly, why not shares?
Middlemen are going the way of travel agents.

I was thinking of doing this repeatedly; setting up increasingly non-dud companies, pumping up the share price, and cashing out to make a new company, leaving only one true lemon and plenty of well-branded niche businesses in my wake.

LLCs can't issue stock for trade. The term shareholder is different than in a corporation. You'd need to form a C-corp, maybe an S-corp.

Well, to register on the market requires filing documentation. Also, any shareholder of a business has the right to request the business financials or through a proxy such as a lawyer or CPA.

All it takes is one screw up and you are in jail for a very long time, and probably personally bankrupt. In cases when you are attempting to defraud someone, then any liability protection from the corporate veil will be pierced.

Oh. I thought it was a catch-all term for a legal individual business.

It will almost certainly be a Hong Kong company.

I suppose I'll have to put on a better show than spinning in a chair in an empty office, then.

I was 17 once.

It passes OP

Ask the owners of $WNDW how it's done.

Right about the time you enter the real world and get crushed?
I'm sure you know all about that.

It's basically called securities fraud- various 3 letter government agencies don't take too kindly to that stuff.

And in order get listed on the OTC market, you'll still need a shit ton of documentation and falsified financial statements. If you can can fake those documents, you'll probably end up making more money creating and managing those documents for an actual company with lower likelyhood of going to prison.

Exchanges require you to have a certain amount assets and/or income.

If you have a few million in properties you could just put ur properties down, but, they would be collateral

Do you know anything about regulated markets? This shit isn't the wild wild west. Everything you do will be scrutinized, the SEC demands that you hire a certified accountant to file quarterly reports on your company for all potential buyers to see, and good luck doing the whole 51% dump thing without going to federal prison for fraud.

Nobody invests in hollow businesses. They'll look at one quarterly filing and see that your company is trash and doesn't do an damn thing.

So, how does investment work for companies not listed on exchanges?

>>1053707
I'm glad you're having a good time :o)

Not really, no.
I'm not based in any one country so government scrutiny is not on my mind.

Make a company in China, the get it OTC listed in the US.

Make the ticker a meme so we know to short it
