Legally, his comments were partially correct in that the LLC would own the IP prior to the transfer. But tax-wise, they were completely incorrect--a single-member LLC generally does not exist for tax purposes, and it is generally possible (even trivial) to transfer the "LLC's" assets to the C-Corp without incurring any tax liability. (A transaction occurs in this sort of situation, but generally it doesn't result in any "costs" or taxes due).
