>As an American business, you can choose to ignore that, but that has consequences if any of your board of directors ever sets foot in the UK.

The board of directors for a private company is generally secret in the US. Only the "manager" aka president/CEO/whoever at the top is generally named publicly, as well as legal agent.

I suspect that MI6 could find a US private company's directors names if they wanted to. We're not talking about nuclear launch codes here.

MI6 is involved in intelligence, not criminal work.

I suspect MI6 has much better things to do.

Not really that easily? Generally, only the legal agent for the private company will know and the direct hires of the board i.e. the CEO/CTO/whoever they name up top. Sometimes board of directors can get named in court records but with the public records redacted. But outside of that? Not even the IRS knows unless the directors get compensation.

MI6 would have to commit a few physical in person crimes to get any details out of any reasonably well run operation.

Honestly I'm surprised to learn that 4chan has a board of directors.
