So I dug a little more digging into this DSP Enterprises name. The only DSP Enterprises licensed to do business in WA state.... is the LLC
(the page does not have unique pages for searches, but search the page yourself for DSP Enterprises)
https://secure.dor.wa.gov/gteunauth/_/#3

And for information for DBA or sole proprietor licenses in WA state http://bls.dor.wa.gov/tradename.aspx


So what does this tell us? Does it mean Phil is operating a shell company now? Now this leans more towards a shell company. DSP Enterprises is not licensed to do business in the state of washington (for Phil Burnell, the LLC however is licensed in washington state). If the state of washington were to be made aware of this shell company, I'm not sure of the consequences though more digging would probably net the consequences for operating a business in the state of washington without spending the 5 dollars to register the company.
If he ever listed Leanna as an employee of the company, he would need to pay employment taxes as well as hold workers compensation insurance.
If his bank account is listed as anything other than Phil Burnell, if its listed as DSP Enterprises, he's committing fraud.

He can't just go using whatever name he wants without registering his DBA with the state. Those records are public just like business incorporation registrations. In CT you can search CONCORD and in WA you can search here.

Regarding taxes, an LLC (there's no reason for someone like DSP to set up a corporation) is a passthrough entity in both CT and WA so the quarterly taxes are no different than a sole proprietor.

I wonder if DSP originally got a bunch of credit under his name, then under a sole proprietor EIN, and will someday move on to under an LLC EIN. That would be godlike fraud.

I think people have probably looked a bit too far into this.
I'd say Phil is set up as a sole proprietorship which means his invoices (lol, invoices) probably just have his name. Given he probably doesn't even invoice anyone he probably has never even generated an invoice or anything similar.

From what I can tell the only evidence of the "DSP Enterprises" comes from his Comcast account (correct me if I'm wrong on that). Although I've seen lots of comments on Twitter that say Comcast does not give business internet services to consumers or in residential areas it is entirely possible he just visited them directly and explained his situation and that he was happy to pay the premium for better service and that's how he ended up with his business account.

The whole "shell company" idea is a bit too far fetched. The primary problem with it is that Phil simply isn't smart enough to know how to even set one up and we all know that even if he knew how it'd require far too much effort for him.

Until someone finds an invoice or some form of documentation that is more official that mentions DSP enterprises then it's a wild stretch of the imagination. I haven't seen anything like this so far.

Also its very easy to find several people on Google who have Comcast business in residential areas, from my research its just that Comcast is selective about which areas and consumers it allows:

If this is true then DSP is signed into either a 24/36 month contract.
"The best they could offer me was an early termination fee which was right around $2,000!"

Ok. I'm sorry, but do you really think this 25 year old company is involved with Phil Burnell?

Could that be why he moved to Seattle and is unwilling to move back? Because he might lose his business line?

Doubtful. It's a shit connection.
Also HFC/Cable from what I understand, you 'share' your connection with your neighbors. So during peak times it's hard to get good speeds. That obviously depends on the area and how good the infrastructure is.

That was a rumor and not sure if it was ever confirmed. His original ad sense account was banned for asking people to click on ads. I'm not sure what the requirements are to set up an ad sense account in the states but it would be weird if he could just set up another using a different email so people were speculating that he used PL's ssn to set up the second. I would think if that was true he would of been a little more stressed out about the break up.

if you are banned once from adsense you cant set up another account with the same name. maybe he used his fathers or mothers name.

Maybe Comcast is different in washington state, but for me, I can get comcast business internet in my name without using my company's name (which I have licensed in my state as a SP) I dont need to have a "business" to have "business internet". Perhaps it is different in states that have data caps that they enforce the "you must have a business" thing. But with being self employed you dont need a "business name" your own name could be your business name. Your tax ID would be your own social, so its possible that Phil didnt know he could register for business internet with just his name as his business name and thought of something on the fly.

Maybe read the thread rather than going on and on about this business registration. As others have already pointed out the business has nothing to do with him and no business that has anything to do with him can be found.

No, I really dont think the LLC is at all associated with Phil. I think Phil just used the name without registering the business.

And that was my whole point in this thread, that Phil has no legit business name in the state of WA.
Perhaps my messages could have been more clear and I apologize for any misunderstanding due to the information I posted.
