wow, thanks for the quick response.

Does it mean a foreign national can 'legitimize' their business just by registering an LLC or Corp in US? What I mean is that there are many startups that are not registered in US, and usually have a credibility issue if they want to launch internationally. One way people can get legit quickly is by establishing a US presence, why? because most (if not all) legit famous startups (FB, airbnb, uber, lyft, whatsapp, etc) are US based company.

then they can start scamming people (i.e run away with customers money), or if things don't work, they can just escape and not paying the LLC/Corp tax.
