The board of directors for a private company is generally secret in the US. Only the "manager" aka president/CEO/whoever at the top is generally named publicly, as well as legal agent.
- nradov 1y agoI suspect that MI6 could find a US private company's directors names if they wanted to. We're not talking about nuclear launch codes here.
- TheRealPomax 1y agoI suspect MI6 has much better things to do.
- delfinom 1y agoNot really that easily? Generally, only the legal agent for the private company will know and the direct hires of the board i.e. the CEO/CTO/whoever they name up top. Sometimes board of directors can get named in court records but with the public records redacted. But outside of that? Not even the IRS knows unless the directors get compensation. MI6 would have to commit a few physical in person crimes to get any details out of any reasonably well run operation.
- nl 1y agoMI6 is involved in intelligence, not criminal work.
- DANmode 1y agoAre you implying intelligence never does crimes, or only MI6?
- piltdownman 1y agoAdd in the list of Directors and Consultants from the Big 4 who are ex-servicemen with various TOP-SECRET clearances and/or working for the Military-Industrial complex. If the US wants to stop that, then the opposing nation has very little to say in the matter unless they're a Superpower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Protection_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Pr... Same can be said for extra-territorial arrests and extraordinary rendition when suitably large Corporate entities like the MPAA are involved. Non-violent Internet copyright infringement charge brought by the United States, even when its not a crime in the country of origin, is enough to bring the hammer down https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom#Extradition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom#Extradition
