They are useless in Marshall Islands as well. Owners must be disclosed yearly, not to your agent, but to the Marshall Islands Registrar of Corporations.
What's considered the best way to keep private the UBO in 2020?

@Gediminas Thank you very much for these figures. It looks like it's for the rich people and not for the average around at OffshoreCorpTalk ! But we know there are people around for which such sums are peanuts and for them it may be of interest.
Public listed company must publish owners of more than 5% shares. There are heavy reporting requirements.
Are you familiar with the case of Lopag Trust? If highly connected people were deceived easily by a crafty lawyer then it doesn't look like a good solution.

“I just want to warn people that if they are thinking of placing their assets in a trust registered in Liechtenstein, then they should︀ run away as fast as possible because they will find that the trustees will become︁ the beneficiaries,” says Perry. “And then the judge and Liechtenstein Trust committee will take the︂ side of the trustees. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has been set︃ up in this way but I intend to be the last one. The lesson here︄ is that you cannot always trust the trustees.”

For the listed company. The offshore subsidiary doesn't have to file anything in the UBO register though.
How do you suggest I proceed to tell the difference between the good and the bad guys? If I can't, I must assume the effective tax in Liechtenstein is more than 100% (all my money + legal proceedings fees).

How do you stay anonymous by buying one of those exchange companies?
-I might︄ be willing to pay 20k in fines a year, whats the setup/protection?
-Lol, it is︅ a manual, very clever, will bookmark this site, it is teaching all the tricks of︆ the trade, ROFL
This is what I waas trying to understand, lets say we go back︊ to 1980 where there is no regulation on bearer shares, how would you use them︋ in an advantageous manner?
Can you explain to us some benefits of Liechtenstein foundation?
Did you read the case, the problem wasn't so much a corrupt trustee, it was the court in Liechtenstein DEFENDED the corrupt trustees corruption, despite being presented clear and overwhelming evidence of that. That is another level beyond crooks everywhere, it means if you deal with someone there and they steal from you do not expect the courts to provide any fair relief. If you deal in Liechtenstein, you cannot trust anyone.
With all due respect, I think you are︂ being naive. To say things are functioning fine when the courts are approving the theft︃ of beneficiaries money in trust, which is perhaps one of the worst white collar crimes︄ one can engage in, is so misleading to the point it reflects poorly on you︅ and Liechtenstein. You have single handily convinced me not only to not invest in Liechtenstein︆ but to warn anyone I ever encounter to not do it, it seems to be︇ some kind of cultural view there that stealing trust money is fine.

Absolutely wrong.
It feels like you are generalizing things to the extreme. As I told - there are bad guys too, who are corrupt, who steal money, but there are many more, who are in the opposite. You can't write down the whole country based on bad stories. Nobody talks about good ones. You can find similarities in every country. With all due respect. 😉

Foundations are very much different than trusts so I wouldn't worry about this. Liechtenstein is (still) a reputable jurisdiction IMHO.
I guess they mean UBO. The following is from the article, not from official documents:
"All corporations with bearer shares issued are should, by November 9, 2018, disclosure their beneficial owners to the Marshall Islands registrar or convert the shares to registered shares. Any failure to do so will result in penalties and adverse consequences."
"All corporations with bearer shares issued are should, by November 9, 2018, disclosure their beneficial owners to the Marshall Islands registrar or convert the shares to registered shares. Any failure to do so will result in penalties and adverse consequences."
The best way to do this, would be to get some front person who gives you letter of resignation as director in advance or letter of sales of shares, preferably a stupid person with borderline mental disability or possibly low iq like an illegal from guatamala who doesn't know what they are signing but is happy to︀ get beer money.
Okay we are back to the old story that is going at OffshoreCorpTalk and the homeless Mexican 🙂
I agree this would be the best option to avoid troube at first and it looks like it works for people that indeed︀ put it in action but not sure if it is viable way.

I’ve heard that you usually don’t have to pay fines for speeding in other countries as a Liechtenstein resident - because their courts don’t give a f**k. Liechtenstein simply never signed the relevant treaties.
Hasn’t Liechtenstein signed treaties on legal assistance in tax matters with several countries? So how safe are those foundations then?
And as others have mentioned here, can’t the country you’re resident in simply throw you into jail and demand you have your foundation hand over the money or they’ll keep you there forever?
