I need some legal advice here, I was going to make a community organization, but my father told me that I have to register the name. but I don't wanna use any kind of personal information for that for privacy reasons.

Is it possible to not give out personal info whilst registering an organization? and if not, do I really need to legally register the organization?

In this day and age you can prove that you're the person by using PGP/GPG, I thought it might be possible. but let me know.

They might not be able to prove it, but any normal business will refuse to do business with you as they also fall under money laundering laws and can't just point to you as the source (as the money laundering laws rightfully include provisions against strawman schemes).

ugh, fine, the alphabet boys wanna file against me? than be it, when the time comes that happens, I'll deal with it, I'm not clearly in the wrong here.

well with that said I'll have one person represent me for my community organization and I'll move to the EU for GDPR if they want file against me, then they won't use that data for nefarious things.
