The Anatomy of an Essay, Term Paper, and Research Writing Business

Writing for Mr. Fraud--Yes Virginia, it is NOW EXPOSED.
Second of the Series, Part 1
A limited liability company of LLC is a relatively a new method of doing business. It takes the best characteristics of a corporation, a partnership and a sole proprietorship. "The primary advantage of an LLC is that it affords its members the personal liability protection of a corporation but without all of the corporate formalities" (Legalzoom website).Domestic limited liability companies are given the choice of calculating profits and thereafter for members to pay their taxes thereon based on individual tax rates known as pass through taxation.In the Commonwealth of Virginia, an LLC composed of a single member shall pay for the business income. Should there be more than one member, the LLC is required to file Form 1065 with the IRS in accordance with the partnership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The LLC is also given the option of being treated as an S or a C corporation. An S corporation is not usually popular as this can easily be subject to the imposition of penalties for default. On the other hand, a C corporation is taxed both on income from its business as well as the distributed profit share of each members, also as income.This form ofentity is popular considering the ease of having it registered through online incorporation services like EastBiz. com, Inc.
The Registration and Incorporation. The registration of the entities was initially done by Ukrainian mother and son tandem, Olga Mizyuk and Yuriy Yur 'yevich Mizyuk.
FIGURE 2: Nevada Registration of
2-Pay-Secure LLCin 2004
A. State of Nevada. Both registered their first website/LLC, 2-Pay-Secure specifically to the Secretary of State of Nevada on 2 8 September 2004 with Corp. I.D. No. LLC22267-20041 through online registration services EastBiz.Com, Inc. (See FIGURE 2). Based o n the information appearing on its website of 09 December 2004, 2-Pay-Secure LLC (using the way back machine archives) was an independent research company that provides research to business and other fields. Clearly, by the manner the website was designed anyone can order from them and track his orders. However on 17 November 2006, it changed its business into one that apparently appeared to be a mere virtual terminal because the website was modified, as shown in the internet archives or the way back machine and orders can no longer be placed through it but was limited only to refund and cancellation of the order/s. Moreover, in filling out the form submitted for the requisite registration, Olga Mizyuk showed an alarming lack of knowledge and ignorance of the zip code for her very own LLC. The zip code she registered for the office for 2Pay Secure LLC, 11654 Plaza America #365, Reston Virginia is 20130-47 and which should have been 20190 for Reston, Va. The zip code 20130 is one for Paris, Virginia.
Another limited liability company, Universal Research LLC was created and registered2 on 23 December 2004 with Corp. I.D. No. LLC30272-2004 with the same registered office address as 2-Pay-Secure LLC, 11654 Plaza America Drive #365 Reston, Virginia 20190 with Yuriy Mizyuk as
managing member and EASTBIZ.com INC. as registered agent (See FIGURE 3). These two LLCs had their respective websites, i.e. www.2-pay-secure.com and www.universalresearch dot net placed up on the World Wide Web.
FIGURE 3: Nevada Registration of
Universal Research LLC in 2004
Universal Research LLC in 2004
B. Commonwealth of Virginia. A business entity search made on the database of the Virginia State Corporation Commission, Office of the Clerk Information System, shows that Universal Research LLC was also registered on 03 February 2006 at the Virginia State Corporation Commission under LLC I.D. No. T029708-7 and with Olga Mizyuk as its registered agent. No registration was made for 2-Pay-Secure LLC.
C. The websites. From two websites, it multiplied and grew into sixteen (16) more or less.3 These websites cater mostly to students for their written academic requirements such as essays, term papers, dissertations, research papers including web design, web hosting, web development, website copywriting, press release writing, article writing, ghost writing, link building and SEO services. The more notorious websites are: SuperiorPapers, BestEssays, BestTermPaper, RushEssay, BestDissertation, DissertationsExpert.com, WiseTranslations, BestEssays.co.uk, Killer-Content, ResumesExperts, EssayWriters.net, ResumesPlanet, FreelancerCareers.com, BestEssayTIPS.com, GoEssay.com, UniversalResearch.net, the defunct TopMerchants.net, 2-Pay-Secure.com, Writers.ph and Essaytownsucks.org. The message forum, Essaytownsucks.org was discontinued in the early part of last year and in its place ScamEssays.com was created. Verification from the domain dossiers4 of both websites reveal that the former has an IP address of 74.220.194.233 while the later, 74.220.219.56 and both are within the same Net Range: 74.220.192.0 - 74.220.223.255. This net range granted is identical for both sites. Moreover, majority of the entries found before at essaytownsucks.org were lifted and merely reproduced at scamessays.com. DissertationsExpert.com and ResumesExperts.com with IP addresses, 72.52.4.10 and 72.52.4.108, respectively were also discontinued.
Except for the specification on the respective websites of Universal Research LLC and its registered office address on the 'Contact Us' page, numerous contact phone numbers which are interchangeably assigned and reassigned from one website to another and in some instances, the domain dossiers of the websites which contain the name of Yuriy Mizyuk and/or Universal Research LLC; there is no official and public document filed before any state, federal or local department or agency that makes reference to Universal Research LLC as owning wholly or in part the affiliate websites aforementioned. The designation of Universal Research LLC in almost every pertinent website gives it the appearance that it is a holding company/LLC for the affiliates/subsidiaries (websites) but legally subsidiaries must also be entities that are registered as companies or LLCs and these websites are not registered as such. The LLC registrations of 2-Pay-Secure LLC and Universal Research LLC in the State of Nevada were revoked on 1 October 2006 and 1 January 2009, respectively. As appearing on the Nevada Secretary of State Business entity details database search, 2-Pay-Secure LLC only had three (3) entity actions namely, submission of the Articles of Organization, list of officers and change of address of registered agent, Eastbiz.com, Inc. A penalty and reinstatement fee of $1,100 is imposed.On the other hand, Universal Research LLC had only four (4) entity actions namely, submission of Articles of Organization, list of officers and two annual list. In both entities, there were no financial reports submitted, thus registering no par share count and no capital amount. A penalty and reinstatement fee of $700 more or less is imposed. (For other images hereinafter, please refer to the blog). In the case of the State of Virginia registration, Universal Research LLC was revoked on 31 December 2007. There was no activity for said entity from the time of registration until its automatic cancellation and penalties and interest were imposed amounting to $75 and which remains to be unpaid at the time of this writing. It is a puzzle how income taxes from the profits generated out of these websites were paid if they were never declared at all. Ideally, the financial reports and other company records are supposed to be kept in the registered office or place of business where they can easily be inspected by appropriate authorities when necessary. However, I find it even more of a puzzle when the registered place of business is a mere mailbox. Tax evasion is considered a felony and can constitute as a ground for deportation of an alien considering that it is deemed to be an offense involving moral turpitude.
D. Registered Principal Office. Universal Research LLC had its registered principal office at 11654 Plaza America Drive# 365 Reston, Virginia 20190 since 2004 (for the State of Nevada) or 2006 (for the Commonwealth of Virginia). All of the other websites aforementioned with the exception of a few also specified on its respective websites in the 'Contact Us/Contacts) page-- the alleged mother company-- Universal Research LLC and with the same registered address.
E. Other Websites Specifying Different Principal (unregistered) Addresses. EssayWriters.net website specified two addresses before, i.e. Malet Street, London, WC1E, 7HU UK, from the internet archives and 1361 Icy Brook dr., Herndon, Va., 200170. The UK address is found to be the address of the University of London Senate House Library (refer to the bottom part of the page of the link where the address is indicated). This UK address was deleted sometime in the middle of 2007.The US Virginia address, 1361 Icy Brook dr., Herndon, Va., 200170 is found to be a private residence registered to and owned by Victor M. Guevarra with additional owner, Veronica G. Garcia under MAP #: 0103 11 0037 per Fairfax County, Virginia Real Estate/Tax Administration Registration. (A web screen shot is posted at the blog)5 EssayWriters.net has an IP address of 72.52.4.103 and with registrant, Yuri Mizyuk as reflected on its domain dossier.
The other exceptions are BestDissertation LLC and BestTermPaper LLC with office address at 1911 North Fort Myer Dr 223 Arlington, Virginia 22209. These alleged LLCs upon verification from the Virginia State of Corporation Commission business entity database are found to be not registered. Moreover, the address specified by these two websites is found to be a second floor parking garage of the building. In fact another independent group made an investigation and took a video of the actual site. WiseTranslations specified the address 1800 N. Kent Street #B1 Arlington, Virginia 22209. This address, specifically #B1 is the Engineering's Office of Plaza East Office Building. I personally spoke on two occasions to a staff found thereat.
This was how it ALL was before changes were made early this year. In addition, all of these websites are supposedly affiliates of Universal Research LLC but there is no document that was ever submitted to the Virginia State of Corporation Commission that may contain any reference to these websites. None of these websites are registered as business entities in Virginia.
F. A New Entity—a Corporation Registered at the Virginia State Corporation Commission. Universal Research LLC registration was automatically cancelled on 31 December 2007 and a new corporation was formed and created. Universal Research Inc. was incorporated on 27 October 2008 under Corp ID 0701509-2 with registered agent Oleg Vorobev with address at 4114 Hamlin Avenue, Chantilly Virginia.
This address 4114 Hamlin Avenue, Chantilly Virginia based on Fairfax County Real Estate Tax Administration records however, is owned by Ermakov Valeri (Valeri is the first name and Ermakov is the surname based on a court record of a past case which I got hold of in my investigation bearing the same name) and with an additional owner Oleynik Mariya. This property has a single detached two-story single dwelling/patio house with MAP # 0442 03 0627 and acquired on 20 August 2008.
Sometime in November 2008, almost all the websites reflected a new 'Contact Us/Contacts' page by changing Universal Research LLC to Universal Research Incorporated (but retaining its old address at Plaza America) and on 13 January 2009, the old address at Plaza America was replaced by a new address,12020 Sunrise Valley Drive Suite 100 Reston, Virginia 20191. This is owned and leased out by REGUS PLC and per its advertisement; Suite 100 is a virtual office. In the middle of January 2009, a staff thereat verbally confirmed that Universal Research Inc. was leasing a mailbox located at Suite 100. (as shown in # 12 of the link).Sadly, after this publication I noticed that this advertisement was modified. Thus, it no longer appears clearly that this is a virtual office. However I offer as proof, the following offices, i.e. CKA, LLC; Centruy 21 Spring Realty; Advantis-Officing Solutions Worldwide & Alliance; Our Plane Corp. all found at Suite 100. The management of Sunrise Valley is reluctant now to re-confirm that Universal Research Inc. merely leased a mailbox at Suite 100 notwithstanding the fact that after 14 January 2009, a staff thereat during a phone conversation, confirmed this fact. I researched for a new link to depict Suite 100 as a virtual office and found this: third picture
EssayWriters.net retained its old address at Herndon, Va. and for Killer-content.com, two corporate addresses are specified, i.e. 4114 Hamilin Avenue, Chantilly Virginia (US address) and at 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood, Hertfordshire WD6 1EN, United Kingdom (UK address). It should be stressed that the corporate name reflected on the website of killer-content is for US State of Virginia approved LLC, Universal Research Inc with US address at 4114 Hamlin AND NOT Universal Research Inc. Limited. This Universal Research Inc. Ltd was registered in UK under 19 Cardinal Avenue Borehamwood, Hertfordshire WD6 1EN, United Kingdom (UK address). Therefore killer-content's designation of the US address for a UK limited company is misleading.
Also, the website 2-Pay-Secure.com now specifies the UK address of 19 Cardinal Avenue, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire WD6 1EN but does not specify any reference to Universal Research Inc. or Universal Research Inc Ltd. Or any company for that matter.
FreelancerCareers.com (relatively a newly created website)on the other hand, specifies its address at North Fort Myer Dr. Arlington, Va 22209 and with phone number 703-621-7265. It does not specify the company to which the website is affiliated with but the address specified is a modified and recycled address of BestDissertation and BestTermPaper before and with the same phone number as may be seen in a few of the press releases issued byBestDissertation and BestTermPaper. FreelancerCareers.com has an IP address of 72.52.4.109 Almost all of the websites fall within the range6 72.52.0.0 - 72.52.63.255, with the exception of bestessays.co.uk (195.12.48.132) and goessay.com (67.159.44.86) and the others: Superiorpapers 72.52.4.94; BestEssays 72.52.4.99; BestTermPaper 72.52.4.100; RushEssays 72.52.4.102; BestDissertation 72.52.4.98; DissertationExpert 72.167.232.158; WiseTranslations 72.52.4.96; Killer-Content 72.52.4.104; ResumesExpert 72.52.4.108; EssayWriters.net 72.52.4.103; ResumesPlanet 72.52.4.95; BestEssayTips 74.127.42.8; Universal Research.net 72.52.4.107; and 2-Pay-Secure.com 72.52.4.112.
Making a Mockery of the Laws. The Code of Virginia, specifically Section 13.1-1015 requires that "the location of the registered office must be identical to the business office of the registered agent." This registered office should include a street and number. A post office mailbox therefore is NOT allowed except in cases where the town or city have a population of 2,000 or less. The population of Reston, Virginia in 2007 is 59,774 people. The legal requirements are clearly stated at the dorsal portion of the FORM LLC 1011. This form which is denominated as Articles of Organization of a Domestic Limited Liability Company, must be filled out upon applying for registration of the domestic limited liability company. It further requires the name of the county or independent city in which the office is physically located must be stated. This was the Form filled out by Olga Mizyuk when she applied for the approval of registration of the defunct Universal Research LLC. Pursuant to Sections 13.1 -1002 and 13.1 - 1028 of the Code of Virginia, "The principal office is the office where the principal executive offices of the limited liability company are located." It further requires that the principal office must be a place where a current list of the full name and last known address of each member of the limited liability company, as well as the other limited liability company information and records specified in § 13.1-1028 of the Code of Virginia.
The address, 11654 Plaza America Drive # 365 Reston, Virginia 20190 of the defunct Universal Research LLC. T is NOT a real office as contemplated by the law. This is the UPS Store at Reston, Virginia and #365 is a mail box as shown in this link. Sometime in the past, I personally called their phone number and confirmed from the staff that it is truly UPS Store and #365 is a mail box leased out to Universal Research LLC—Yuri Mizyuk. There are also photographs and videos posted at the World Wide Web by concerned citizens who also investigated the issue of physical address of Universal Research LLC. From 2006 up to December of last year and in the spate of growing number of people conducting their own investigation and of alarming complaints on the web, not one government staff or officer took official notice.
There is a legal precept: 'Ignorantia juris non excusat or Ignorantia legis neminem excusat' Ignorance of the law does not excuse anyone from compliance therewith. Olga Mizyuk must be charged with the knowledge of the law and the legal requirements for registration of LLC. When she filled out and signed the Form denominated as 'Articles of Organization of a Domestic Limited Liability Company,' the provisions of law reciting the legal requirements in designating a principal registered office are specified succinctly at the dorsal portion thereof. Thus, she cannot deny knowing of said requirements nor plead ignorance thereof. In the same way, Oleg Vorobev7 who signed and submitted for incorporation, Universal Research Inc. should have known that the law requires that "the location of the registered office must be identical to the business office of the registered agent."The principal office address that he registered is 4114 Hamlin Avenue, Chantilly Virginia. This is a residence registered under the names of Ermakov Valeri and Oleynik Mariya. Based on verification from Fairfax County, Business Section, there is no business license issued to Universal Research Inc. in said residential address as evidenced by a series of correspondences with the Fairfax County Business Section officials. The very link of Fairfax County on real estate tax administration shows a tab for 'commercial.' The page when one clicks on 'commercial' shows nothing which means that the property is classified as residential and is taxed as such. It is a Class 1 misdemeanor for a person to sign a document to be delivered to the Virginia State of Corporation Commission, knowing that there is falsity on any material aspect (See § 13.1-1006 of the Code of Virginia).
When press releases and articles were published late last December 2008 and early January 2009 exposing to the public the truth that the principal office is a mere mail box and that other office addresses of the pertinent websites are bogus, Universal Research Inc. immediately on 13-14 January 2008, modified all of its websites to reflect a new address at 12020 Sunrise Valley Drive Suite 100 Reston, Virginia 20191 which may be construed as a reaction to cover up and as avoidance from being discovered by a still growing multitude of private citizens not only of the US but of a few countries whose citizens had been affected and are still being negatively affected. Moreover, the change in address can also be construed as affording an opportunity to create a new image for the new company, Universal Research Inc. This change was, however rendered useless considering that it had been discovered just a few days from the day the new office was specified on the websites—that the new address is merely another mail box located in a virtual office or Suite 100.
What I find most disturbing is the fact that a new corporation, Universal Research Inc. was created without any reference to the defunct Universal Research LLC. and during even after the automatic cancellation of its registration, these websites CONTINUED to operate and conduct its business as if no cancellation ever took place and STILL continued thereafter with their (websites) respective business operations at the time of approval of the incorporation of Universal Research Inc. and henceforth until the present time.
