Unincorporated business organization (UBO)

Read a random definition: advertising

A quick definition of Unincorporated business organization (UBO):

An unincorporated business organization (UBO) is a type of business arrangement where an investor creates a trust and gives management rights to a trustee. The trustee holds the property for the benefit of the beneficiaries, who are the investors. The investor has limited liability for their investment, which means they are only responsible for the property they put into the trust. This is similar to a limited partnership. UBOs are also known as Massachusetts trusts, common law trusts, or business trusts.

A more thorough explanation:

An unincorporated business organization (UBO) is a type of business arrangement that is used instead of a company or partnership. In this arrangement, the investor (also known as the settlor) creates a trust and gives the management rights to a trustee. The trustee holds the property for the benefit of the beneficiaries, who are the investors. The purpose of the trust is for investment purposes, and the investor has limited liability for their investment only.

For example, let's say that John wants to invest in a real estate property. Instead of forming a company or partnership, he creates a trust and appoints a trustee to manage the property. John is the settlor and the beneficiary of the trust, and he has limited liability for his investment in the property.

Another example is a group of investors who want to invest in a startup company. Instead of forming a company, they create a trust and appoint a trustee to manage the investment. The investors are the beneficiaries of the trust, and they have limited liability for their investment in the startup.

Overall, an unincorporated business organization (UBO) is a flexible and efficient way for investors to pool their resources and invest in a business or property without forming a company or partnership.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.

Indeed. I need a count for how many exectuive orders he has signed and how many already have pending lawsuits.
