Technically, you always dressed well for work. Corporate jobs require professional attire, obviously; but you were slightly overdressed today, and it wasn’t to go into the office.
Tight skirt and matching blazer, a silky-satin button-up, black heels, and thigh-high stockings with a seam up the back. No, this wasn't how you dressed for a day in the office… this was how you dressed when you were closing a deal.
A little bell dinged as you walked into Gumshoe Video, and you looked around for a moment after you stepped inside: the decorations were… plentiful, and kitschy. The displays were so small, and just a quick glance at some of the shelves had you frowning in confusion. These are some seriously deep cuts… how do they make any money at this place?
Lucien came bounding up to you in an instant, hands pressed tight against his horribly out-of-fashion skinny jeans as if to hide that they were clammy already. "Do you, uh, need help finding anything?" he asked.
You offered him a pitying smile, about to offer him a friendly ‘no thanks, but’ and then tell him why you were really here… but you were interrupted.
Jonathan, who had taken a break from sipping on a soda behind the counter, coughed to get Lucien's attention as he quickly shook his head. He didn't seem to understand, though, looking back at you with his brows furrowed.
"Uh, ignore him,” Lucien laughed nervously. “Are you looking for a rental?"
"Dude, she's not here to get a movie!" Jonathan snapped. "Who dresses like that to pick up a tape?!"
"Maybe she's on her way to work!" Lucien returned sharply. "Or maybe she just came from somewhere!"
"Where?"
"My dreams!"
"No, your friend is right, I'm not here to pick up a movie," you admitted, and Lucien looked at you nervously.
"You, uh, don't like movies?" he wondered.
"I love them actually, but—"
The door to the office swung open, with Neil glaring at you from the other side of it. "You," he announced with disdain.
"—but I'm here to speak with the owner," you finished, tilting your head and grinning at Neil.
"We have nothing to speak about," Neil assured you as he walked towards you.
"We have multiple opportunities to discuss," you disagreed, "and my employers are very anxious that I deliver this message to you, so if we could please speak in your office—"
"Her employers? Is this chick in the mob?!" Lucien blurted out fearfully. "Neil, I know money's tight, but— oh fuck, was that 'small business loan' just a cover—"
"She's not from the mafia," Neil sighed. "They actually have some morals."
You extended a hand to introduce yourself to Lucien. After your name, you told him your job: "Head of Acquisitions, Media Giant, LLC."
Jonathan coughed again, poorly covering the sound of him saying "blood-sucking harpy" under his breath.
You smiled at him; "You really should get that cough checked out," you suggested pointedly.
“Whatever it is your puppet-masters want you to discuss with me,” Neil began, wiggling his fingers as if pantomiming a little marionette show, “you can take right over there into our women’s restrooms and shove directly up your ass.”
“Oh, that’s cute,” you smiled, “I bet you’ve been saving that one since our last little visit. Can we go to your office now?”
“No, you can’t go in there— we just had the priest come by and bless it, we wouldn’t want your feet to burn now, would we?” Neil snarked in return.
“Fine— get it out of your system,” you encouraged. “Say whatever’s been stuck in that pretty little head for the last month waiting for me to come back, and then we can have our meeting, alright?”
“I— well, uh—” Neil stalled, looking a little flustered as he suddenly leaned on a shelf of tapes with one hand. “You think I’m pretty?” he mumbled nervously, running his free hand through his hair— only to put a little too much weight on the shelf and nearly tilt it over, having to scramble to catch it and make sure it was balanced again.
“Dude, pull yourself together,” Jonathan snapped at him, and Neil glared at him before looking back at you.
“Fine, okay— we can have a very brief conversation in my office,” Neil offered with a sigh, motioning for you to follow him, “but it’s going to go the same way it did last time: with me telling you hell no and you having to do the walk of shame back to your headquarters.”
“Looking forward to it,” you smiled, waving goodbye to the other men before stepping into Neil’s office as he shut the door behind you.
You watched him step around you to sit at his desk, looking at you expectantly with his legs spread and his fingers interwoven in his lap.
“Am I allowed to ask why you’re dressed like a cowboy, by the way?” you asked with a raised eyebrow, and he frowned at you as he tossed aside the hat and slipped the poncho off over his head, leaving just a much more normal outfit of jeans and a button-up underneath.
“We’re running a special on Westerns,” he explained, “it’s fun, okay? Not that you would know fun if it smacked you on the ass and called you sweetcheeks.”
“Honey, that’s just what I call a Friday night,” you smirked as you stepped a little closer leaning against the side of his desk as he swallowed thickly. You couldn’t just sit across from him— you needed to keep the upper hand. “But I’m here for business. Let’s talk business, shall we?”
“Right, business,” he frowned. “I’m guessing your business here today is trying to buy my store, again?”
“Something like that,” you relented.
“You know, I guess I should take it as a compliment,” he grinned, leaning back further in the chair. “Clearly, you know I’m a threat.”
“Please,” you rolled your eyes, “we’re a Fortune 500 company, and you’re a guy wearing a poncho.”
“I took off the poncho!” he defended.
“So you’re… just a guy, then,” you corrected. “The point is, we’re not worried about you stealing our business at all. We just think this location is going to waste.”
“You want the real estate?” he realized.
“You’re in a perfect spot, you know,” you informed him, “you just need… a little more help utilizing it.”
He sneered at you sharply. “I don’t want anything from you.”
“You only hate me so much because you resent success,” you informed him with a sigh. “Just because you’re broke and proud doesn’t mean making money is a sin.”
“It is when you put making money above everything else,” he replied, “like creativity and community and the authentic customer experience—”
“How exactly does Media Giant conflict with those things?” you scoffed. “We’re a company founded on creativity— and we always foster community—”
“Spare me the doublespeak, Big Brother,” Neil scoffed, “you’re just a bunch of— of robots! Your whole company, it’s just full of people trying to make a quick buck, top to bottom: you think the people in the back at McDonald’s give a fuck about food? That’s what you are, the McDonald’s of the film industry. You’d probably let a monkey work there if it could wear a nametag and convince someone to rent Fast and Furious Fifty or whatever the fuck.”
“Fine,” you sighed, “let’s just say for a moment that you’re right. That my company is so terrible because we don’t employ people like you.”
He relaxed for a second, and you leaned in closer in hopes that he was really listening.
“This is your chance to fix that!” you explained. “You can save us from the inside out, you know. You can start from the bottom, be our best sales guy, and then it turns into a promotion and a raise and soon you’re climbing the corporate ladder— where you can make some real change.”
He shook his head, laughing a little. “That’s not actually possible, it’s just a fantasy you tell all your little minions to keep them compliant.”
“It’s what I did,” you shrugged.
“You?” he realized with a laugh. “You, in one of those navy vests and nametags, selling people tapes?”
“I’m sort of a cinephile,” you admitted. “I wanted a job where I could talk about movies all day— and thanks to me, that Media Giant location rented out more copies of The Seventh Seal than all the rest combined.”
He stood up quickly, stepping closer to where you sat on his desk. “Y-you like The Seventh Seal?”
“It’s a masterpiece,” you answered, speaking a little softer as he was so close, “Bergman is a genius.”
A strange look crossed over his face, a heavy-lidded sort of look as he examined you. “Tarantino?”
“Overrated, but not bad,” you replied quickly.
“Tarkovsky?”
“Good, but hard to watch.”
“Lynch?”
You scoffed; “Don’t insult me.”
He laughed a little, crossing his arms and looking away from you. “You could be one of the good ones,” he realized, “but you sold out. And now you’re just a suit.”
“It’s not so bad,” you smirked, “I think you’d like a little more… structure, given the chance.”
“And that’s what you’re offering?” he pressed, and you nodded.
“We’ll let you keep the name, your employees… most of the decoration,” you offered, “you’ll just be technically a Media Giant franchise. You have nothing to lose, and so much fucking money to gain.”
He sighed a little, looking at you again. You could tell he was considering it, but not very thoroughly. All you could do was hope for the best, and wait for an answer…

alright, i... didn't want to do this. i didn't want to have to do this. especially with all the hate ive been getting in my inbox recently. but i don't have a choice.
hi. im lulu. im a 21-year-old autistic immunocompromised queer person. i currently live with my mother (senior) and my little sister (10 years old). i need your help to get out.
(context and avenues to help below the cut)
as some of you may know, my stepfather died on august sixth from a heart attack. we lived in his parents basement, as it was all we could afford, and we depended on his income. he had a stable job, and mom decided to become a housewife and sell some things from the buisness they created together. when he died, the buisness was dissolved, as it was an llc partnership. his parents are extremely controlling, and as such, he was only able to finally start building up credit when mom came along, and we were almost at the point where he could qualify for a home loan so we could get out and get away from his parents.
that's gone now.
mom cannot qualify for a home loan because of her student loan payments and the credit card payments. we do not have the money to pay these off, and mom is trying desperately to get a job. we need the money to get out, as my stepfather's parents have been trying to get my sister away from my mom and shove both her and i out of the family for years. things are only getting worse now as we have reason to believe they are spying on our conversations and even going so far as tracking us (for example, they found a spare key to the car and went and took it and "cleaned it out" without mom's knowledge or permission, as it's her car now). they have been trying to circumvent mom and go behind her back during the entire process with the funeral home, coroner's office, all the legal documentation, and they are extremely infuriated that they cannot decide anything or push mom out because they are not the next of kin and have been trying to circumvent this. we have reason to believe that they're going to attempt to sell the cars that are still in my stepfather's name to collect on the money and never give us a dime, like they had with almost all of the money my little sister received as part of the college fund we set up at my stepfather's funeral as well as any money that my little sister had won in the past. we will never see a dime of it, and it's extremely upsetting that they are doing this. they have been running scams for years, and they have been nothing but hellish towards my mother, claiming she's withholding information from them when she has offered more than they've asked for and they have done nothing but take my little sister out and about without ever telling mom anything (for example- they screamed that mom was withholding information when she said she didn't copy the tox report for them because it was empty and claimed they needed to know his cholesterol levels [which doesn't even show up on a tox report- they didn't run his blood, either, and they didn't check his cholesterol levels anyway because they know that's what killed him, they could see it] and would not provide reasoning why [it does not affect them anyway just by nature of it being cholesterol], while on sunday they took my little sister out the whole day and failed to communicate with my mother that she would be with them and would be home after dinner).
they have been screaming at mom for collecting social security as though she was stealing their money and demanded that she doesn't get a job, and we have more than enough reason to believe that they are trying to get her to default on the bills so they finally have legal grounds to take my little sister and kick us out, leaving us with nowhere to go and no options. they have even gone as far as to threaten to take my sister away using force in the past, and, as they have firearms, that is a terrifying threat. they are unhinged and extremely upset that they cannot control us and make us do what they want, how they want, when they want, and they are up in arms over it.
when we move out, all hell is going to break loose, but the longer we wait, the worse it's going to get.
my stepfather, being 37 when he died, did not like thinking about his own mortality, so he didn't have a life insurance policy, a 401K, a will, nothing. we have been left high and dry by his death, and that is pushing aside the grief. we do not have the money to pay off the bills, pay for a lawyer, pay to have the car re-keyed to keep them from stealing it again, or to even flat-out buy a house to circumvent needing a loan, and on top of it all we have to deal with stepfather's parents not allowing us to grieve and implying that mom is a tramp and a heartless bitch that will blow any money given to her when she is more financially responsible than them. we also have to worry about them stealing our things, especially with how much they complain about how messy the basement is when most of the things here are theirs (stepfather's parents are hoarders- more specifically, his father hoards cars, and his mother hoards everything else, going out and shopping frivolously almost every day).
we need help with money, and i hate to ask, especially with the requirement of revealing my legal name and in light of the harassment i have been receiving for over a month now, but we need to get out of here, and we need to get out of here soon. it's only going to get worse the longer we stay. we need money to help with the bills, my mom's student loans, getting a lawyer, and getting a place to move into.
im posting this because im the only one my stepfather's parents won't find on any platform that i choose to use. my current goal is $9,000 USD, if only just to get enough money to get a cheap plot of land to move into, or one of the really cheap houses out here. this won't cover the loans or bills in addition, or the cost of getting a lawyer or anything else we need, but it is enough to get us a cheap place to live. i know it's a lot of money, but we are in a dangerous situation and need the money to escape. if we were to pay for everything, the goal would be in the hundreds of thousands, and i feel horrible just asking for this much. if you can't donate, please reblog, even the visibility might help and please do not spread my legal name. please remember to put "payment" or something generic in the reasoning box if it's required so that i will actually receive the funds instead of having my account purged from the site. i didn't want to ask for this, but i have no other options. please help.
c*sh*pp: $lulunightbon
v*nm*: @Lulilial
Goal: $0/$9,000
#im sorry#i don't know what else to do#please forgive me for this if you ever can#financial aid#autistic#trans

Excerpt from this story from Canary Media:
The federal government has just finalized a $861 million loan guarantee to fund what will be Puerto Rico’s largest utility-scale solar and battery storage installations.
In July, the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office announced a conditional commitment to finance two solar-plus-storage facilities on the southern coast of the island, plus two standalone battery energy storage systems. The solar plants combined will have 200 megawatts of solar capacity — enough to power 43,000 homes — while the battery systems are expected to provide up to 285 megawatts of storage capacity.
The installations, collectively called Project Marahu, will be led by Clean Flexible Energy LLC, an “indirect subsidiary” of the U.S. energy companies AES Corp. and TotalEnergies Holdings USA. Facilities will be located in the municipalities of Guayama and Salinas.
The DOE offers loans for clean energy projects on the condition that borrowers meet certain financing and administrative requirements. According to the agency, the company has now met all those conditions — meaning soon, hundreds of millions of dollars will start flowing toward construction.
Project Marahu is expected to come online sometime in 2025.
Jigar Shah, director of the DOE’s Loan Programs Office, told Canary Media that the loan presents a major opportunity to diversify and stabilize Puerto Rico’s grid, which currently relies on fossil fuels to produce more than 90 percent of its electricity. “There’s a huge potential for additional projects like this,” he said.
The loan is somewhat of a departure for Shah’s office, which typically invests in emerging clean energy technologies that have yet to be commercialized. In this case, the Puerto Rico government sought federal assistance to replace some of its oldest diesel-fired power plants with solar and storage projects through the Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment Program, which was created by the Inflation Reduction Act to help repurpose or replace existing fossil fuel infrastructure, Shah said.

A Stellantis joint venture with Samsung SDI has won a commitment from the U.S. government for up to a $7.54 billion loan to help build two electric vehicle battery plants in Kokomo, Indiana. The project being built by StarPlus Energy LLC is expected to create at least 2,800 jobs at the plants and hundreds more at a nearby park for parts supply companies, the Energy Department said Monday in a statement. The loan still must be finalized, but the government said the commitment shows its intent to finance the project. To get the loan, StarPlus must develop a plan to engage with community and labor leaders to create good paying jobs. It also has to meet technical, legal, environmental and financial conditions before the government will fund the loan. It’s unclear whether the loan will be finalized before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20.

WASHINGTON (TND) — The House Ethics panel announced it has found “substantial evidence” that Republican Rep. George Santos broke multiple laws.
The panel conducted an investigation into the New York congressman and released its findings on Thursday, adding that it referred the information to the Justice Department.
A news release notes the panel determined Santos:
Knowingly caused his campaign committee to file false or incomplete reports with the Federal Election Commission
Used campaign funds for personal purposes
Engaged in fraudulent conduct in connection with RedStone Strategies LLC
Engaged in knowing and willful violations of the Ethics in Government Act as it relates to his Financial Disclosure Statements filed with the House
Santos, 35, who represents New York, has maintained his innocence, insisting he is the victim of a “witch hunt.” He has resisted all calls to resign, saying he intends to run for reelection next year.
He took to social media to speak out against the Committee's findings.
"If there was a single ounce of ETHICS in the 'Ethics committee', they would have not released this biased report," he wrote on X, whcih is the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. "The Committee went to extraordinary lengths to smear myself and my legal team about me not being forthcoming (My legal bills suggest otherwise). It is a disgusting politicized smear that shows the depths of how low our federal government has sunk. Everyone who participated in this grave miscarriage of Justice should all be ashamed of themselves ... I’ve come to expect vitriol like this from political opposition but not from the hallowed halls of public service."
He went on to say that he "will remain steadfast in fighting for my rights and for defending my name in the face of adversity. I am humbled yet again and reminded that I am human and I have flaws, but I will not stand by as I am stoned by those who have flaws themselves. I will continue on my mission to serve my constituents up until I am allowed. I will however NOT be seeking re-election for a second term in 2024 as my family deserves better than to be under the gun from the press all the time."
In October, prosecutors said Santos allegedly stole the identities of people who donated to his campaign, as well as repeatedly used their credit cards without their permission. Prosecutors said some of the stolen money ended up in his own bank account.
As alleged, Santos was charged with stealing people’s identities and making charges on his own donors’ credit cards without their authorization, lying to the FEC and, by extension, the public about the financial state of his campaign," Breon Peace, who is a United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said in a separate news release."
"Santos falsely inflated the campaign’s reported receipts with non-existent loans and contributions that were either fabricated or stolen," Peace added. "This Office will relentlessly pursue criminal charges against anyone who uses the electoral process as an opportunity to defraud the public and our government institutions.”
The latest charges include the following:
One count of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States
Two counts of wire fraud
Two counts of making materially false statements to the Federal Election Commission (FEC)
Two counts of falsifying records submitted to obstruct the FEC
Two counts of aggravated identity theft
One count of access device fraud
Prosecutors said he also stole from his own family members.
The defendant -- a Congressman -- allegedly stole the identities of family members and used the credit card information of political contributors to fraudulently inflate his campaign coffers,” District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly noted in the release. “We thank our partners in the US Attorney’s Office and the FBI as we work together to root out public corruption on Long Island.”
According to prosecutors, Santos allegedly charged more than $44,000 to his campaign using cards belonging to contributors without their knowledge. In one case, he charged $12,000 to a contributor’s credit card and transferred the “vast majority” of that money into his personal bank account, prosecutors said.
The charges, said prosecutors, are in addition to the seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the United States House of Representatives that were charged in the original indictment.
He was initially arrested in May on a 13-count federal indictment, which charged him with using funds earmarked for campaign expenses on designer clothes and other personal expenses and improperly obtaining unemployment benefits meant for Americans who lost work because of the pandemic.
Santos was also accused of falsely reporting to the Federal Elections Commission that he had loaned $500,000 to his campaign in an attempt to convince Republican Party officials that he was a serious candidate, when he actually had less than $8,000 in his personal accounts.
Santos, who likely faces a lengthy prison term if convicted, was elected to Congress in November and sworn in as the U.S. Representative for New York’s Third Congressional District on January 7, 2023.

How Expats Can Make Their Business Dreams Come True in KSA
Starting a business as an expat in Saudi Arabia (KSA) offers immense opportunities, especially as the Kingdom continues to push forward with its ambitious Vision 2030. Saudi Arabia is transforming its economy, opening new avenues for foreign entrepreneurs across various sectors, from tourism to technology. For expats ready to dive in, the journey is filled with potential and several unique challenges that must be understood and addressed. This article explores the steps expats must take to make their business dreams come true in KSA, from registering their company to adapting to the local business culture.
Why Expats Are Drawn to Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia’s economic reforms have made it a promising destination for foreign entrepreneurs. The government’s efforts to reduce its reliance on oil, boost private-sector growth, and attract foreign investment have created an environment more open to startups and small businesses. With strategic locations like Riyadh and Jeddah offering dynamic business ecosystems, expats can find opportunities in sectors such as manufacturing, retail, technology, and even tourism.
However, while the potential for growth is strong, launching a business in Saudi Arabia requires a firm understanding of the local regulatory environment, proper business registration, and the ability to navigate the cultural and financial aspects of the business.
Steps to Starting a Business in KSA
1. Legal Framework and Business Registration: The first crucial step for expats looking to start a business in Saudi Arabia is understanding the legal requirements. Expats must register their company with the Ministry of Commerce and Investment (MCI), typically as a Limited Liability Company (LLC). Depending on the industry, a local Saudi partner may be required. The recent changes in foreign investment laws have made it easier for expats to own and operate businesses, but compliance with regulatory standards is essential.
2. The Setup Process: Once your company is registered, you need to focus on the logistics of setting up your business. This includes securing office or retail space, acquiring business licenses, and meeting sector-specific regulations. For example, companies in the food industry must obtain health and safety permits, while tech startups may need additional approvals from relevant authorities. Planning these aspects ahead of time can help ensure a smooth launch.
3. Financial Considerations: Capital is key to any business venture, and expats must ensure they have the financial resources to support their business. Saudi Arabia offers various funding options, including loans, grants, and venture capital programs. For example, the government’s Vision 2030 initiative supports startups with grants and financial incentives, especially in the tech sector. A solid financial plan is crucial to cover the costs of setting up and running your business.
4. Navigating Cultural and Business Norms: Understanding the local culture and business environment is vital for success in Saudi Arabia. Building trust with local partners and respecting business customs, such as patience in negotiations, is essential. Hiring local employees can also help ease the integration into the Saudi market.

The Usury Suspects, Part 3: Tivol’s ex-pres knows where the real money is
On the cover of Ingram’s last month was a man named Steve Mitchem. The business publication was honoring him with one of its “Local Heroes” awards for philanthropic contributions — Mitchem has given $160,000 to the Down Syndrome Guild of Greater Kansas City over the past three years.
Mitchem has led an interesting life. He moved to Kansas City in the early 1980s to pursue graduate studies at Nazarene Theological Seminary. He then worked as a traveling evangelist for two years before settling in locally as a full-time minister at the Church of the Nazarene. In 1990, Mitchem went secular, at least professionally. He retired as a minister and joined Tivol, the luxury jewelry company, as an associate at its retail space on the Country Club Plaza. He rose through the ranks and was named president of Tivol in 2005.
Here in Kansas City, that’s a powerful, and surely quite lucrative, gig. Yet Mitchem left Tivol two years after being appointed to the post. A story at the time in JCK, a trade publication covering the jewelry industry, reported that he was resigning to “join his son in his loan business.” About that loan business: Technically it is dozens of separate companies, with many different names, but it adds up to one of the largest online payday-lending operations based in Kansas City, according to several individuals with ties to the industry.
“Steve was working down at Tivol on the Plaza, and these payday guys kept coming in every other month and buying Rolexes,” a source tells The Pitch. “He figured out that they were basically printing money doing their online-lending businesses, and he wanted in on it. So first, he set his son up in the business. Then he quit Tivol and joined him.”
Filings with the secretary of state’s offices in Missouri and Kansas, plus a couple of lawsuits, help back up that account. In December 2006, Mitchem’s son, Josh Mitchem, filed articles of incorporation in Missouri for a company called Platinum B Services. In 2012, Dustin McDaniel, the attorney general of Arkansas, brought a lawsuit against that company and PDL Support LLC, another company controlled by Josh Mitchem.
In the suit, McDaniel alleged that Josh Mitchem and his companies controlled a variety of LLCs, purportedly based in the West Indies federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, that were engaged in lending over the Internet to Arkansas citizens at interest rates as high as 644 percent. Arkansas law caps rates on consumer loans at 17 percent. The purpose of these LLCs is to make it appear as if the Defendants are not the actual payday lenders and to otherwise shield Defendants from liability from lawsuits such as the one brought by the Attorney General in this case,” the lawsuit states. “The Defendants make the decisions concerning all lending operations from their offices in the Kansas City, MO area.”
The Arkansas attorney general’s office also produced evidence that Josh Mitchem responded to consumer complaints mailed to his company by requesting that correspondence be sent to an address in Charlestown, Nevis — despite the fact that his return letters were postmarked in Kansas City.
In the settlement that was reached, Josh Mitchem denied any wrongdoing but agreed to stop lending in Arkansas and pay $80,000 to the state. More recently, Josh Mitchem was named in a class-action RICO complaint brought in California against about two dozen players in the payday industry (including MoneyMutual LLC and its spokesman, talk-show host Montel Williams). In it, Mitchem’s company Rare Moon Media is accused in that state of unlicensed lending and of negotiating and signing marketing contracts on behalf of unlicensed lenders.
Rare Moon Media was incorporated in Kansas in 2010. In 2011 and 2012, its filings with the secretary of state list Josh Mitchem, Steve Mitchem and Jeremy Shaffer, among others, as the primary stakeholders. Shaffer replaced Steve Mitchem as general manager at Tivol when Mitchem was promoted to president.
Jeffrey Wilens, the plaintiffs’ attorney in the RICO suit against Rare Moon Media, says, “The business address for Rare Moon Media is the same West Indies business address as several other lenders making unlicensed loans in the state of California, such as SCS Processing and Everest Cash Advance. The company is either consulting companies who make illegal loans, or it is simply making illegal loans by itself and pretending to be a consultant of some kind. Either way, the service it provides is to aid, abet and facilitate criminals breaking the law in the state of California.” Steve Mitchem told Ingram’s that he splits time between his two homes: One off Ward Parkway in Kansas City, the other in St. Thomas, of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The latter address allows his various business entities (Mitchem Holdings, according to the article) to more comfortably avoid regulatory scrutiny and taxation by the U.S. government.
“There are some of us who have been blessed and are fortunate enough to be able to give, and quite frankly, I believe we have that responsibility to get involved financially,” Steve Mitchem told Ingram’s of his philanthropy. “Some people can’t do that. I’m one of those guys who’s fortunate and can do that.”

How Can Singaporeans Obtain a U.S. Mortgage?
Singapore is known for academics and education, with many high school graduates attending the best universities in the world!
Similarly, the U.S. is known for having most of the top global universities.
Singapore currently has 21,666 students studying abroad, according to UNESCO, and according to a recent Open Door report, Singapore had 3,901 students studying in the U.S. – a record number!
A typical Asian family will want to explore owning a property near the university the child will be attending – as a place to stay when visiting or if the student prefers not to stay in the dormitory.
After graduating, the property’s value often goes up. It might be enough to pay for college, or parents might choose to give the property to their child if they plan to work in the U.S. before returning home. This allows the child to build credit, something very important in the U.S.
However, not many can pay for a home with cash and just give up when they assume that obtaining a mortgage is not available.
Contrary to what you may think…..
You CAN get a mortgage as a non-U.S. citizen or Expat living in Singapore
You DO NOT need U.S. credit or residency
You CAN QUALIFY based on your Singapore income OR by using the rental income of the U.S. investment property
You CAN get market-interest rate mortgages while living in Singapore
You CAN sign the closing documents at the embassy on Napier Road

LLC vs. Corporation: Which Business Structure is Right for You?
Choosing the right business structure is a critical decision for entrepreneurs and business owners. The structure you select can impact everything from daily operations to taxes and legal liability. Two popular options are the Limited Liability Company (LLC) and the Corporation. Each has its own advantages and drawbacks, so it's important to understand their differences to make an informed decision. In this blog post, we’ll explore the key aspects of LLCs and Corporations to help you determine which one is best suited for your business needs.
What is an LLC?
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a flexible business structure that combines the liability protection of a corporation with the tax benefits and operational flexibility of a partnership or sole proprietorship. LLCs are popular among small to medium-sized businesses due to their simplicity and versatility.
Key Features of an LLC:
Limited Liability Protection: Owners (called members) are typically not personally liable for the debts and liabilities of the business.
Pass-Through Taxation: Profits and losses can be passed through to the members' personal tax returns, avoiding double taxation.
Flexible Management Structure: LLCs can be managed by the members (member-managed) or by appointed managers (manager-managed).
Fewer Formalities: LLCs have fewer ongoing formalities and administrative requirements compared to corporations.
What is a Corporation?
A Corporation is a more formal business structure that is considered a separate legal entity from its owners (shareholders). Corporations are often chosen by businesses that plan to raise capital through the sale of stock or go public in the future.
Key Features of a Corporation:
Limited Liability Protection: Shareholders are typically not personally liable for the debts and liabilities of the corporation.
Double Taxation: Corporations are taxed at the corporate level, and shareholders are also taxed on any dividends received, leading to double taxation. However, S Corporations can avoid double taxation by passing income directly to shareholders.
Formal Structure and Governance: Corporations must adhere to strict governance rules, including having a board of directors, holding regular meetings, and maintaining detailed records.
Ability to Raise Capital: Corporations can issue stock to raise capital, making it easier to attract investors.
Comparing LLC and Corporation
Liability Protection: Both LLCs and Corporations provide limited liability protection, meaning owners are not personally responsible for business debts and liabilities. This is a crucial feature for protecting personal assets.
Taxation:
LLC: Offers pass-through taxation, where profits and losses are reported on the owners' personal tax returns. This avoids the double taxation faced by traditional corporations.
Corporation: C Corporations face double taxation, but S Corporations can elect pass-through taxation similar to LLCs. However, S Corporations have restrictions on the number and type of shareholders.
Management and Structure:
LLC: Offers flexibility in management structures, with fewer formalities and less rigid governance requirements.
Corporation: Requires a formal management structure, including a board of directors and corporate officers. This structure can be beneficial for larger companies or those seeking significant investment.
Raising Capital:
LLC: Raising capital can be more challenging as LLCs cannot issue stock. Investment typically comes from members' contributions or loans.
Corporation: Easier to raise capital through the issuance of stock. This makes corporations more attractive to investors, particularly for startups seeking venture capital.
Administrative Requirements:
LLC: Generally has fewer ongoing formalities, making it easier and less expensive to maintain.
Corporation: Must comply with more stringent administrative requirements, including annual reports, shareholder meetings, and detailed record-keeping.
Which Should You Choose?
The decision between an LLC and a Corporation depends on your business goals, size, and growth plans.
Choose an LLC if:
You want a simple and flexible structure with fewer formalities.
You prefer pass-through taxation.
You’re starting a small to medium-sized business with limited need for outside investment.
Choose a Corporation if:
You plan to raise capital through the issuance of stock.
You want a more formal structure with a clear governance framework.
You’re aiming for significant growth or planning to go public in the future.
Conclusion
Both LLCs and Corporations offer unique advantages and potential drawbacks. Understanding these differences is key to making the best decision for your business. Consulting with legal and financial professionals can also provide valuable insights tailored to your specific situation. By choosing the right structure, you can position your business for success and ensure it operates smoothly and efficiently.
