Though it was incorporated in 2011, IC Expert LLC appears to have done little-to-no business. A nationwide search of real estate records returned no results for the company and a thorough open source investigation has produced zero trace of the corporation, apart from its incorporation. Is is unclear what, if any, official business IC Expert LLC has done.

LLCs in Delaware are required by state law to pay a tax every year on or before June 1. Based on the company’s good standing, Rozov kept the IC Expert LLC in Delaware active through the negotiations of Trump Tower Moscow and through the present day. With no records of any official business, it is a mystery why Rozov kept the shell company active for nearly eight years.

One banking industry source with over a decade of experience in shell companies and suspicious transactions said, “It is highly suspicious that a company after paying 8 years worth of license fees to the state of Delaware has no publicly traceable business records or activities.”

Because of the circumstances and persons involved, the source said that ‘investigators will likely subpoena bank records to see who opened the account(s) and what payment activity occurred over the last few years, especially if any Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) were submitted to FinCEN.” (The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is a bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury).

When notified of the content of this article and asked for comment, Peter Carr, a spokesman for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office said, “Thanks, Scott. Appreciate the detail. We’ll decline to comment for the story.”

Jennifer G. Dunn, Senior Vice President for Wells Fargo where Rozov claimed to have his corporate accounts, stated in part, “We do not comment on customer relationships nor would we be able to confirm any inquiries received from law enforcement agencies related to our customers.”

IC Expert did not return a request for comment. Delaware is a common location for the incorporation of businesses due to its low tax rate and protection of corporate secrecy.
