As I understand it, FOIA requests on living individuals will be denied. If you create a business, and there is a file on that business, and you send a FOIA request it will be acknowledged… but odds are they won't have anything on the entity. FOIA requests are not magic. It's just a way for people to see things like declassified National Intelligence Estimates (NIEs). If you send a FOIA request on a living individual you usually get either denied outright or sent back documents that are completely redacted to respect the privacy of that individual (even if that individual is you). This is what Privacy Act requests are for.
