1) We are looking for the ideal jurisdiction (Pananama, Belize, Cayman, Seychelles, etc) to incorporate our entity that will sell a software subscription that can be used for cheating in a college setting. We are looking for a jurisdiction that will NOT care about this minor civil violation against a U.S. corporation (the software will technically harm a U.S. company that U.S. students will be cheating against). And a place where banks respect court precedent and don't give out our KYC files to opposing parties unless ordered to. This jurisdction will ideally protect our privacy -- and existence -- despite U.S. court rulings, unless their OWN court deems our actions a violation, which ideally they won't... (so in other words, we want a lenient setting).
We have inquired about all of the above locations (Belize, Panama, Cayman, and Seychelles), and honestly, it seems like when push comes to shove, they will fold to a U.S. court order and potential reveal our identities (and our primary focus here is sustainability and privacy -- not because this is criminal, but mainly for reputation protection).
So what other recommendations do you have? Ideally someone who has actually been through this or something similar and is not commenting purely off of theory -- unless there is a huge gaping hole / error in our perception or an obvious or hidden gem jurisdiction we're missing out on...
2) We are also wondering which payment processor we should use to keep our UBO KYC files 100% onshore in whatever jurisdiction we end up incorporating in... as passing our KYC files (as the owner of the business) to U.S. card processors and card processing networks during purchase / transactions would defeat the whole privacy seeking we're doing here.
Broadly (in case you have any other advice), how would you set up a company like this to receive payments from college students consistently while maintaining privacy at all costs and without having to use some weird, obscure crypto payment methods (and if we do have to do this, what is the least suspect way that is also the most private? BTCPayServer?).
3) And then lastly, what is the most ironclad way to set up our website so that it's private and cannot be taken down? Right now we are thinking Cloudflare > Alexhost > the-online.com as our domain registrar (as they apparently resist DMCA takedown attempts) with Vercel fitting in there somewhere -- though that may be a weak point.
