People are jumping in to conclusions too quickly. Just because you can't find the information in the database, doesn't necessarily mean that the information is not there. You might just be unable to enter the right keywords in the search engine. [....]
The onus is on the business to present accurate information about itself to the world. As it stands now, MyRig is inaccurately representing itself to the world when it states on its ToS that its name is "MyRig, Inc." The entity's actual name consists of Japanese letters, not English letters. This may seem like a meaningless technicality to some, but it is actually quite important so that people can reliably conduct due diligence.
I have searched everywhere for Halong Mining's incorporation records, guessing at the country in which it has incorporated. I even checked Vietnam to no avail since "Halong" is a city there. This is case in point why presenting accurate information is so important.
[....] They have entered the corporation information in to the database system in Japanese only, hence why you can only find that information by searching with the Japanese expression of the company name. I don't think there is anything odd with that. [....]
It is odd if you consider that MyRig has held itself out as a Colorado corporation (

MyRig has a receiving address in Colorado at a UPS Store and transacts business there. To that extent, it is required under Colorado law to obtain authorization to conduct business in Colorado as a foreign entity. If it registered, we'd have the ability to hold MyRig accountable using legal process should circumstances justify it some day. If it does not register, then U.S. customers should understand the lack of accountability should something go wrong when transacting with MyRig.
Good points made, I stand corrected.
It would be good for a company doing international business that the official information is in English and also easily available for anyone to check it.
