He also mentions the introduction of a helpdesk on their platform.<\/p> The conversation pivots to discussing various aspects of cryptocurrency investments. The host explains that rewards earned from staking, for example, Litecoin, are not considered taxable income. However, selling the staked cryptocurrency for dollars makes it a taxable event. He raises questions about tax obligations related to transferring cryptos to a wallet one doesn’t own, which he finds nonsensical.<\/p> John then delves into the benefits of a two-member LLC for personal protection, emphasizing that personal debts cannot intrude upon the company assets. He continues to speak about the process of taking profits from a cryptocurrency investment through an LLC, and explains the importance of understanding tax laws associated with such transactions.<\/p> Several audience members ask questions ranging from transferring personal crypto holdings to an LLC, setting up an LLC, integrating crypto investments with real estate or other businesses, and handling of 10-99 K forms. The discussion also covers the legality of holding driver’s licenses from other countries, and the merits and demerits of holding assets in an LLC versus a trust.<\/p> John emphasizes the versatility of an LLC, allowing for easy incorporation of partners and simplified transaction processes. Additionally, he addresses the concerns of setting up bank accounts for an LLC and potential delays faced by members while dealing with certain financial institutions.<\/p> In summary, this chat focuses on the complexities of managing cryptocurrency investments, emphasizing privacy, the role of LLCs, the tax implications of cryptocurrency transactions, and the importance of understanding financial and legal nuances associated with personal and business finance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t U51 \u2013 Fla LLC Discussion\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Watch Now<\/a><\/strong><\/p> The recording you provided centers around a discussion between two individuals planning to establish a Florida Limited Liability Company (LLC) via the Secretary of State’s website, sunbiz.org. The pair walk through the registration process together, providing step-by-step commentary on how to complete the necessary forms and highlighting important considerations along the way.<\/p> Initially, they select the option to file a new company, defining the business as “Virtuous Living Ventures” and providing a principal address in Brandon, Florida. They discuss that the company’s address won’t necessarily determine where it receives mail, which instead depends on where they direct people to send mail.<\/p> They stress the importance of correctly registering the company’s mailing address and the registered agent, who is chosen as Charles Homuth for this case. The agent’s address should ideally be where legal documents and official notices are expected to be received. The dangers of providing an inaccurate address are underscored as it could lead to unintentional default on legal proceedings.<\/p> In defining the company structure, the individuals choose a single managing member model, with Homuth serving as the registered agent. They also decide to include an optional provision that the individual members are not liable for the company’s debts or obligations, further delineating personal and business liabilities.<\/p> The session concludes with the individuals acknowledging the flexibility offered by the LLC structure, stating that one could add more members or assign them specific roles, such as CEO or Secretary, if desired. They indicate that if a situation arises where more than a few members are needed, a corporation might be a better option.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t U52 \u2013 How to Open LLC Account\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0 Watch Now<\/a><\/strong><\/p> The video, “U52 \u2013 How to Open LLC Account \u2013 Privacy Fight,” by John Jay, discusses the strategies and benefits of using a Limited Liability Company (LLC) for various purposes. He emphasizes that LLCs can provide a reliable method for minimizing personal risk and ensuring privacy.<\/p> In the video, Jay gives insights into the challenges faced when opening an LLC account in a bank, specifically regarding the friction caused by the Private Membership Association (PMA) in this process. Despite these challenges, he stresses the importance of persistence, as he believes it is ultimately possible to open an account.<\/p> John also discusses his approach to managing these challenges by ensuring that the LLC’s articles of association remain the principal governing documents, irrespective of the information given to the bank. He suggests that the information given to the bank can be modified, as the bank’s forms and records do not override the articles of association, which he believes should always remain the controlling factor.<\/p> He also elaborates on the flexibility of LLCs in managing various types of assets and investments, such as cryptocurrencies, stocks, real estate, and precious metals. He notes that one LLC can manage all these assets, making it an effective tool for risk management.<\/p> John provides examples of scenarios where an LLC could be used, including when selling coins or purchasing property. He emphasizes the importance of making sure the property’s title is in the name of the LLC, not the individual, to avoid potential tax implications.<\/p> Towards the end of the video, Jay demonstrates how to create a lien, using a mortgage contract as an example. He explains that one can use a government website to obtain these documents and suggests using an amortization calculator to calculate reasonable numbers for these documents.<\/p> Finally, he gives advice on using an LLC to own property and place a lien on a vehicle, stating that an LLC can be used for both purposes but advises against placing the vehicle and house in the same LLC due to liability risks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t U53 \u2013 Thursday Evening Chat September 2, 2021\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Watch Now<\/a><\/strong><\/p> “U53 \u2013 Thursday Evening Chat September 2, 2021 \u2013 Privacy Fight” is a transcript of a chat session led by John, discussing topics of privacy, corporate structuring, tax implications, and investment strategies.<\/p> John starts the conversation by addressing some technical difficulties due to a storm in his location in Florida, which might cause interruptions. The main topic of the chat is addressing queries and concerns from participants, most of them regarding financial, legal, and investment issues.<\/p> One of the key points discussed is the importance and usage of Form W-9 in the process of establishing a new LLC, for which he explains the intimidating nature but necessary utilization. He mentions the idea of having control over clearing funds without necessarily needing a W-9 form.<\/p> John further talks about the importance of maintaining good standing for an LLC, even if it may require some nominal fees, unless it’s too old, where starting afresh might be more cost-effective. He provides guidance on diversification in investment, encouraging participants to allocate their investments in real estate, gold, precious metals, and small businesses, depending on market conditions and individual knowledge.<\/p> He highlights the importance of listening to experts like Kathryn Austin Fitts, emphasizing the importance of knowing more about the market before making an investment decision. Moreover, he advises participants to invest in things they love or are efficient in.<\/p> The conversation continues with questions about the percentage of investment in gold or silver, in which John provides a humorous but practical approach. He then discusses the administrative and legal aspects of LLCs and trusts, providing detailed guidance on how to handle various documents and procedures.<\/p> Furthermore, John elaborates on the creation and use of a Private Membership Association (PMA) as a means to document and protect wealth, operating separately from one’s personal estate. He also covers the importance of IRS form 1099, offering anecdotal evidence of his experiences handling debt collections and the implications of its use or misuse.<\/p> The session wraps up with a variety of additional queries, with John providing advice on everything from managing brokerage accounts, handling business operations within marital communities, to evaluating potential investment opportunities in businesses or real estate, and the importance of robust record-keeping.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t U54 \u2013 The PMA and it\u2019s applications Part I\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0 Watch Now<\/a><\/strong><\/p> In “U54 \u2013 The PMA and its applications Part I \u2013 Privacy Fight,” John Jay delves into the concept and implications of the Private Membership Association (PMA), drawing from his personal experiences and understanding of the matter. He presents the PMA as a tool used by his mother, a healer operating within the bounds of law, through her guise as a massage therapist. As he progressed through the early 2000s, he recognized the PMA concept was more prevalent than he had previously believed.<\/p> Jay presents PMAs as a solution for professionals seeking to organize their practices, sharing that he has assisted physicians to establish PMAs in recent years. This allows them to work within the bounds of legality and confidentiality, providing healing services. He also explains that the PMA has implications in the business world, sharing a personal anecdote about an investment arrangement he has with his brother which operates within the PMA structure.<\/p> As the presentation continues, Jay discusses the many forms associations can take, such as homeowners associations, professional societies, or even families. PMAs, he argues, can be run democratically with a governing body elected by the association members. He emphasizes the importance of the operation and management of these associations, as the way they function is more significant than the governing documents themselves.<\/p> Jay further explores the potential of PMAs in estate management, arguing that PMAs can operate outside of the often expensive and exploitative court system. He argues that such associations can keep control within the association, only engaging with the court system when absolutely necessary. He also discusses the possibility of using a PMA to manage divorce agreements outside the court system.<\/p> Finally, Jay introduces the concept of using a PMA within the realm of cryptocurrency exchanges, highlighting its potential in providing a layer of privacy for users. Despite being a newer application of the PMA concept, Jay asserts its viability and effectiveness. His exploration of PMAs showcases the wide-ranging applications and the potential of these associations in various facets of life, including professional, personal, and financial arenas.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t U55 \u2013 The PMA and it\u2019s applications Part II\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0 Watch Now<\/a><\/strong><\/p> “U55 \u2013 The PMA and its applications Part II \u2013 Privacy Fight” focuses on the discussions about the implementation and potential benefits of Private Membership Associations (PMAs) in various contexts. The speaker, John, introduces listeners to PMAs and their potential uses, indicating that people are often already members of several associations, such as family, work, or clubs. He explains the roles within these associations and highlights their importance in defining the structure of a PMA.<\/p> John proceeds to detail how the recognition of an association’s structure can be used to implement PMA mechanics. He uses examples such as families and homeowner associations, stressing the importance of having an identifiable name for these associations. Furthermore, he mentions the inclusion of various age demographics, emphasizing the importance of protecting the rights of all involved, regardless of age.<\/p> The presenter explains that PMAs allow for the setting up of structures to protect property rights in a manner that doesn’t conflict with conventional property law. He touches on banking in relation to PMAs, discussing challenges he has faced in trying to open bank accounts for PMAs and how he navigates these issues.<\/p> The discussion also covers disability and the document set up to cater to those needs. Furthermore, John addresses how PMA naming works, stating that while the PMA will appear on public records, one can utilize different strategies for naming PMAs for privacy or legal protection.<\/p> Lastly, John discusses how to build credit for an LLC, which is seen as a separate legal entity. He explains that one must be careful not to act as a personal guarantor in this process. The session ends with John addressing specific questions and issues raised by the participants, emphasizing the need for direct communication for urgent inquiries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t U56 \u2013 Australian LLC \u2014 How to Register\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0 Watch Now<\/a><\/strong><\/p> “U55 \u2013 The PMA and its applications Part II \u2013 Privacy Fight” focuses on the discussions about the implementation and potential benefits of Private Membership Associations (PMAs) in various contexts.

He mentions his work with small businesses and consumers, handling over 30,000 different debt collection cases.<\/p> Moving on to the topic of cryptocurrencies, he discusses the challenges associated with tracking transactions and calculating tax liabilities on crypto gains. He simplifies this process, suggesting it’s basic algebra, factoring in the initial purchase cost and fees, and comparing it against the coin’s value when sold. He emphasizes that when cryptocurrencies are sold for traditional currency, it may create a taxable, reportable event.<\/p> Jay then delves into more advanced topics like asset protection, discussing how title transfers and beneficial interest changes can help protect assets in scenarios involving creditors. He explains the concept of the “innocent party” and the need for such a party to avoid common liabilities like married couples may have.<\/p> He continues by explaining the importance of the LLC structure in asset protection and the additional layer of protection provided by trusts or PMAs. He emphasizes the importance of correctly establishing these structures, with the right relationships and documentation.<\/p> In the context of real estate, Jay suggests placing each asset in separate LLCs for better asset protection. He notes that this could even be done without registering the LLCs, making them essentially untraceable to the owners.<\/p> The chat continues with discussions around tax considerations, where Jay emphasizes that correctly structured entities do not have a tax obligation. He mentions specific scenarios around international partnerships and LLCs, explaining how these structures can be used for tax and asset protection purposes.<\/p> Lastly, Jay talks about how cryptocurrencies are treated for tax purposes globally, pointing out that as of the date of the chat, only El Salvador recognized Bitcoin as legal tender. He concludes by discussing client-specific titling strategies for assets, reinforcing the importance of precise documentation and asset structuring.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t U58 \u2013 IRS Crypto News Items How to Research\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 \u00a0Watch Now<\/a><\/strong><\/p> “U58 \u2013 IRS Crypto News Items How to Research \u2013 Privacy Fight” is an in-depth recording by John Jay aimed at educating the public about recent developments and regulatory changes related to cryptocurrency and tax evasion. Jay provides insights on how to accurately follow the news about cryptocurrencies, highlighting the importance of understanding beyond just the headlines. He critically examines recent news items related to the government’s crackdown on crypto-related tax evasion and raises skepticism about the government’s motives.<\/p> Jay explores the process of tax reporting and the potential for IRS crackdowns on cryptocurrency holdings. He discusses several important legal frameworks, such as the use of Rule 27 in court proceedings, the IRS audit process, and the application of the United States Code and Code of Federal Regulations in crypto-related cases. This understanding allows listeners to navigate the legal landscape and helps in countering potential IRS claims.<\/p> Jay also presents a unique perspective on stablecoins and how they may be exploited in potential tax evasion schemes. He points out that the IRS primarily sees people as employees or employers, thereby highlighting potential blind spots in its oversight mechanisms.<\/p> The recording continues with a deep dive into the IRS’s internal processes, particularly how they build cases and their perception of cryptocurrency activities. Jay shares detailed knowledge of various IRS manuals, legal statutes, and regulatory mechanisms. He provides real-life case studies to elucidate these complex topics further.<\/p> Finally, Jay wraps up the discussion by providing practical advice on establishing a Limited Liability Company in states with favorable conditions like Ohio, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania. He provides insight into obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN) and discusses potential options for avoiding annual fees.<\/p> Overall, this discussion seeks to demystify the complex interplay between cryptocurrencies, tax regulations, and legal frameworks.

It discusses the concept of isolating risk in financial matters by identifying liabilities and protecting one’s assets against potential judgments or claims. The speaker emphasizes that individuals can insulate their assets by adjusting property rights through various structures, like LLCs, stocks, or vaults.<\/p> In cases of stock ownership, the speaker explains that there are ways to limit liability and protect assets by changing the ownership or title of the stocks, particularly through stock transfer agreements. For gold in vaults, one strategy to protect assets is to change the account holder from the individual’s name to an LLC. Moreover, in relation to property like vehicles, vessels, and aircraft, the title can also be altered for protection.<\/p> The speaker underscores the importance of carefully managing assets and liabilities. Assets that often lead to negative cash flow, like real estate and vessels, should be treated with caution, and borrowing money against these assets could be a viable option. Also, utilizing credit can help manage cash flow in business operations. Moreover, the speaker emphasizes the benefits of using other people’s money, especially in real estate investments.<\/p> Lastly, the speaker underlines the significance of financial education and how it should be integrated into wealth inheritance. Leaving vast amounts of money to the unprepared can be damaging, suggesting that understanding how to handle money is crucial before gaining substantial wealth. Furthermore, he criticizes endowment contracts and their influence on the education system, implying the importance of being vigilant in making legal agreements. In conclusion, risk isolation is a multi-faceted process involving strategies in asset ownership, credit management, and financial education.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t U60 \u2013 The Need for Captive Insurance<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Watch Now<\/strong><\/a><\/p> The video titled “U60 \u2013 The Need for Captive Insurance \u2013 Privacy Fight” dives deep into the concept of captive insurance and the importance of understanding and employing it, especially for investors amidst an uncertain future due to geopolitical and economic scenarios. The speaker emphasizes that the real estate investors and others must consider the future risks, and highlights the concept of captive insurance as a potential way to offset such risks.<\/p> The speaker provides a historical context and discusses the evolution of banking and economic systems. They talk about the move away from gold and precious metal-backed currencies towards script and the role of global entities such as Vanguard and Blackrock in owning a substantial part of global assets. They raise concerns about a cabal of families controlling major world assets and influencing global policy.<\/p> Discussing the current state of affairs, the speaker notes the shift towards a corporate guardianship government system and suggests that such a system is controlled by an elite few. The speaker emphasizes that these influential families have potentially been in control for centuries.<\/p> The main argument presented is the need for a shift towards managing risk through self-established systems like captive insurance, which are separate from the current banking system. This is seen as a way to create and manage assets independently, allowing the investor to retain more control over their financial future.<\/p> The speaker also delves into the potential of cryptographic currency, arguing that while it could lead to destruction, it can also save and sustain economies. They note the importance of managing and controlling access to resources and emphasize the importance of commerce and competition.<\/p> Lastly, the speaker discusses the concept of captive insurance in more depth, detailing how it could serve as a potential solution for risk management. The speaker posits that while captive insurance is a part of the existing banking system, investors do not necessarily need to be part of this system to make use of the concept.<\/p> The speaker believes that captive insurance could help investors reallocate and manage their assets and risks effectively. They close the discussion by emphasizing the importance of understanding the concept of captive insurance and its role in future investment planning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t U61 \u2013 Opening Accounts with group owners of LLC Part I<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0\u00a0Watch Now<\/strong><\/a><\/p> The speaker begins by discussing the concept of Private Membership Associations (PMAs), a topic he has previously covered in depth in another video. He notes recent issues with PMAs being rejected by the banking system, suggesting a collaborative effort between banks and state Secretaries of State.<\/p> He addresses this issue by proposing changes to their approach. He suggests starting the LLCs as single-member LLCs, if the banking system poses too much difficulty, and then amending the articles as needed. He also presents the option to inform the bank what they want to hear.<\/p> He further explains the concept of a PMA and its utilization. The speaker has used PMAs since the late nineties and emphasizes that PMAs are essentially groups of people \u2013 associations \u2013 that include individuals, corporations, and other trusts. He stresses that if one has difficulty with the bank, it is essential to tell them whatever they want to hear.<\/p> The speaker addresses the possibility of pushback from the banks by arguing that they don’t need to be informed about everything, such as the internal workings of the PMA. He encourages listeners not to blindly comply with the bank’s instructions, arguing that they are managing risk in a specific way, which may not be understood by the banks.<\/p> He closes by proposing a method for managing the risks associated with ownership and LLCs: divesting exclusive rights into a group, creating an “innocent party” that doesn’t have liability. He concludes that this method would protect the individual, while still maintaining the structure and benefits of a PMA.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
