Description
Received a very convincing form 4022 saying it was Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting needed pursuant to the US Corporate Transparency Act enacted by congress. Saying there was a $117 fee need to go with the form and failing to do so would result in a $500 penalty per day. Additionally, it threatens a fine up to $10,000 or 2 year of imprisonment.
