We do not want to let anyone remain open to an attack by the government, state or IRS or other tax office. Even if one’s name is not disclosed in the public registry, that fact will weaken one’s defense. by employing legal structure, disclosable and reportable structure, an US citizen will have nothing to hide and will have his assets fully protected, with high interest rates and with great deal of tax deferral, confidentiality, legal tax savings and asset protection.
