Hello guys,
First of all let me thank everyone who is contributing with great information on this forum. I spent a lot of time reading and learned a lot but I have a few questions unanswered and I hope someone can help me.
I'm a web designer/online marketer from Eastern Europe and I played a bit in the recent years with affiliate marketing. Now I want to step up the game a bit and launch a dropshipping replica store internationally (non USA, non EU selling.) My main problem/concern is how to stay 100% anonymus from start to end. My website is going to get traffic via SEO and at some point I will be in plain sight on the first pages in google, and for sure the brands lawyers will jump on me because of trademark infringement. I want to setup the whole thing in such way that they cant take me down even though they have court decisions in USA or EU or anywhere.
So my setup so far is like this:
- Bought using bitcoin and fake name domains with .co and .to extensions. These are not under ICANN jurisdiction so any court rule in USA cannot touch these domains directly. I stay away from .com, .org, .net because these are directly under USA power and can easily be shut down even though you use bulletproof, non-DMCA registrar.
- Although the domain registrar I used is ICANN accredited, it answers to ICANN take down notice only after a trial is taken place in Sweden and a court rule oblige them to take the domain down. If this happens, I can move the domain to a non ICANN accredited registrar, although its risky.
- The hosting is bought with bitcoin and its bulletproof. In case they do shut my website down, I can move elsewhere in 2 minutes so is not an issue.
So far, I think I'm covered in terms of anonymity but now its the part where I need help.
In order to process payments I will need a company and I'm thinking of Nevis or Cook Islands locations, since, from what I read, are the best when it comes to privacy.
The plan is to create an offshore with nominee and apply to payment gateways. I know a few GPs that accept banks from these locations and I also have two versions of the website (real and "white") with similar domain name like "greatbags.co" vs "greatbagz.co". I want normal GPs, not high risk ones.
So my question is:
If, for example, I will create an offshore in Cook Islands , of course using the "white" version as cover, can the corporate lawyers hunt me down? Like, do they have power there?
Also, very important, do these lawyers have the power to force a payment gateway not to work with me anymore?
Which is the best location in your opinion to build my company but my anonymity to stay intact?
Thank you very much, any answer is highly appreciated!
Sorry for the long post 😀
