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.


I suspect MI6 has much better things to do.


MI6 is involved in intelligence, not criminal work.


Are you implying intelligence never does crimes,

or only MI6?


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.


In general, many things you think are grassroots are actually highly corporate astroturf.


Now?!
