Nothing in the Bloomburg listing says they are international, LLC just means Limited Liability Company anyone can register a company as that. Not everyone has a web site if they only deal with limited clientele, not all are like Shyster, Shyster and Shyster who's commercials inundate the TV.

He and his family only made millions of dollars by leveraging, and selling access with Joe's long career as a corrupt, greedy politician.
That's why there needs to be a law. No politician can use insider info. Especially buying single stocks. I'd add his secretary and all the cousins to the list. Mutual funds, etc. Ok. Not single stocks.

But that insider trading goes down to city council and county commissioner levels.

My county commissioner started out selling insurance to school teachers. When he finally got run off he was a bajillionaire. It came from people making him gifts of land. And then suddenly a new county road to the property came from out of nowhere. And then 6 months later a subdivision.

It's the new way to get rich quick, become a politician.

Here's what got my attention from the last page of the memo:

Quote:
The Committee seeks meaningful reforms to government ethics and disclosure laws that will provide necessary transparency into a President’s or Vice President’s immediate family members’ income, assets, and financial relationships with companies. The Committee intends to develop legislation that would strengthen reporting requirements related to certain foreign transactions involving senior elected officials’ family members and implement financial disclosure laws that shed light on ownership of opaque corporate entities.
We can only hope!! But what are the chances...

Seed Money is a business term.


Quote:
seed mon·ey
/ˈsēd ˌmənē/
noun
money allocated to initiate a project.
"we'll give you some seed money for a few stores"

Quote:
Seed money, sometimes known as seed funding or seed capital, is a form of securities offering in which an investor invests capital in a startup company in exchange for an equity stake or convertible note stake in the company

Precisely. We can dare to dream. Honestly this sort of thing is LONG overdue, as in decades overdue.

51 former U.S. intelligence officials from 17 agencies have stated the Biden-China bank records are fake Russian propaganda.

The same Russians who planted the fake laptop.

So you are alleging they were doing international business illegally? If a company is making (or laundering) money in foreign countries, does that not make them international?
