Inside the 80,000-Shell Factory Exploiting Wyoming, Identity Theft, and Foreign Influence Loopholes
Wyoming likes to tell the world it’s business-friendly. That’s true in the same way a convenience store with no cameras, no locks, and no night clerk is “customer-friendly.” You can get in fast, you can get out fast, and nobody asks questions — especially the questions that might stop fraud, foreign influence, or outright identity theft.
At the center of this industrial-scale loophole is a name almost no American has ever heard: Lovette Dobson — the “organizer,” “incorporator,” or “CEO” listed on nearly 80,000 business filings across the United States. She appears simultaneously in Alabama trucking firms, California e-commerce startups, Minnesota consulting shells, Arizona virtual-office clusters, and — most critically — in the Wyoming filings now driving a statewide fraud crisis.
Dobson signs everything. Nobody can find her. And every document she touches seems to lead to a dead end, a redirected number, or a corporate black hole.
If Joseph Heller had written Catch-22 about American shell companies instead of the Army Air Force, this would be the absurd rule at the center:
“Only the person who organized the LLC can say whether the LLC is real. And the organizer does not exist.”
I. When the Fraud Comes Home
For decades, Wyoming marketed itself as a cheaper Delaware — no income tax, minimal oversight, privacy protections, and an online filing system that made forming a company easier than ordering dinner.
But in Fremont County, a small business owner named Patricia Nelson opened her mail one morning and discovered a strange letter from the county assessor:
A company called Billecom LLC had been registered at her salon’s address, with Yohann Billereau listed as the registered agent — a man she’d never met.
The signature on the filing?
“Lovette Dobson — Organizer.”
County assessor Tara Berg quickly unraveled the pattern: hundreds of fraudulent LLCs registered to innocent residents. Berg testified to the legislature that Wyoming had become a magnet for:
- Fake companies
- Identity-theft LLCs
- Foreign commercial fronts
- Shells with no verifiable ownership
And she discovered something even more startling:
180,000 entities are registered to a single address on North Gould Street in Sheridan.
This isn’t business formation. It’s an anonymized LLC conveyor belt.
II. The National Pattern Behind the Wyoming Crisis
What Nelson experienced locally is part of a broader, documented structure:
1. Identity-theft LLCs
A New York woman sued in federal court after discovering an LLC formed in her name through Incfile.com LLC, paid for with her stolen credit card.
Her Articles of Organization were signed:
“Lovette Dobson, Organizer.”
Reddit is full of similar accounts:
- Incfile creates a company using someone else’s name
- Dobson signs the filing
- Victim discovers the business only when bills or legal notices arrive
2. Domestic fraud cases
The NullShip counterfeit shipping-label scheme — uncovered by FreightWaves — used a shell LLC whose registered agent was, once again:
Lovette Dobson.
Consumers who received fraudulent checks from New Total Profit LLC (another Dobson filing) reported the same thing:
- Fake company
- Identity misuse
- Dobson paper trail
3. Global commercial fronts
Livensis Group LLC, a Wyoming entity organized by Dobson, functioned as the U.S. arm of the Turkish company Livensis Grup LTD — moving goods through Savannah, Newark, and Los Angeles.
Shipping records show:
- Turkish shipper
- Wyoming consignee
- Zero transparency
4. The DAO loophole
Wyoming’s 2021 DAO law created the first U.S. corporate form where:
- Owners can remain anonymous
- Crypto wallets can serve as “managers”
- Smart contracts can control the entity
- No human identity is required
And who appears repeatedly in the formation documents of Wyoming’s DAO shells?
Lovette Dobson.
These structures were publicly connected to the HyperFund / HyperVerse crypto-fraud cluster operating across Australia, New Zealand, Dubai and Hong Kong — already flagged by regulators in Canada and Cyprus.
Wyoming built a code-controlled, human-optional legal entity, and criminals used it exactly as predicted.
III. The Foreign-Influence Dimension
Most Americans will never read a FARA filing, but federal investigators will — and they discovered something remarkable:
A FARA Exhibit C (filed 2025) includes the Articles of Organization of BENI PRODUCTIONS LLC, a Wyoming company formed through:
- Incfile.com LLC
- Registered Agent: Republic Registered Agent LLC, Casper
- Organizer: Lovette Dobson
- Email: EFILE1234@INCFILE.COM
And that shell company?
It is the publisher of the political book Biden’s Corruption and War: The True Story of the 1 Billion Dollar Prosecutor by former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin.
Whether one loves or hates Shokin is irrelevant.
The point is structural:
Foreign-author political content is being published through the same identity-theft–linked shell infrastructure used for fraudulent LLC filings and domestic scams.
That’s not a theory — it’s a documented connection.
If you were designing a multi-use laundering platform for:
- money
- influence
- political messaging
- anonymous revenue
- tax arbitrage
…it would look exactly like this.
And to borrow from Arrested Development, Wyoming has essentially become the corporate version of the Bluth family’s storage unit:
“This should not be here, and yet here we are.”
IV. So Where in the World Is Lovette Dobson?
It doesn’t matter.
Whether she’s:
- a real person
- a pseudonym
- an internal Incfile identity
- a distributed signature used by offshore operators
…the filings point to a single, inescapable truth:
The Dobson/Incfile/Republic RA pipeline is America’s largest unregulated, identity-theft–powered shell-company factory.
It enables:
- Anonymous banking
- Anonymous logistics
- Anonymous crypto revenue
- Anonymous political publishing
- Anonymous foreign-U.S. commercial bridges
- Identity-theft victimization
- Downstream fraud
- Cross-border laundering
Wyoming built the tunnel.
Incfile supplied the shovel.
Dobson signs the paperwork.
And ordinary Americans — from Riverton hairdressers to New York commuters — are the collateral damage.
V. The Bottom Line
The magnitude isn’t theoretical.
It’s documented in:
- Federal court filings
- FARA exhibits
- State corporate records
- FreightWaves investigations
- Wyoming legislative testimony
- OpenCorporates datasets
- Consumer complaints
- Real victims in small towns
And Wyoming’s penalty for filing a false LLC?
A $2,000 fine.
For an operation moving international goods, crypto revenue, political content, fraudulent payments, and identity-theft shells.
As Patricia Nelson put it:
“They’ve got nothing to lose.”
Unless the legislature steps in, she’s right.
