[....] In conducting my due diligence, I've relied on the info about its legal status that MyRig has posted on its web site (see:
https://myrig.com/terms-of-use). Legitimate operators tend to post their information on such pages, and not wait to disclose it until
after the sale. The information MyRig shows on its terms of use page cannot be confirmed with the Colorado Secretary of State.
You're assuming all businesses are incorporated in USA. I think MyRig is Japanese or Russian.
Inc. could just be a translation for what ever the designation is in those countries.
I am making no such assumption. I am relying on what MyRig has told us about its legal incorporation status on its very own terms of use page on its web site (see:
https://i.imgur.com/8WZDWmZ.jpg). MyRig holds itself out as a Colorado
incorporated entity, hence the name "MyRig,
Inc."
I even went so far as to check the Japanese government's official incorporation records. You can do so yourself here:

Zero results.
That leaves Russia. If MyRig would like to announce that it is a Russian corporation, I would be thrilled to receive this news. I have not checked Russian incorporation records but I would be happy to verify such a claim from MyRig if it would like to make it.
