Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I've spent a few minutes trying to figure out who Life Corporation and Walter Monk are. Walter Monk may be an "entrepreneur" in Texas, but that isn't clear to me. What is clear is that "Life Corporation" has been incorporated since 1995 and has no internet presence as far as I can tell.
This is shady as fuck before you even get to the illegal stuff.

Oh that's interesting. Not sure how that didn't show up in my search. I had to log in to my ancient LinkedIn account to read it, but I'm glad I did, because...
Thank you.
Edit: I should have hilighted this part too, because again, SKETCHY AS FUCK.
We would amuse ourselves by dressing like ghosts with pointy heads, and burning spare lumber after nailing it together in an X
1527 S Cooper St is something called TextToSurvey. I'm guessing Life Corporation, if it ever actually existed, is dead in all but name.
All things considered, that's a pretty quick setup for a long-running operation on foreign territory. Couldn't have been easy when it's only been about four years since the collapse of the USSR.
See my full paste from the LinkedIn page @DrQuickbeam found, but here's the key part:
He never says who they are. Very suspicious.
Good find by Quickbeam, thanks for copying it over. Kinda sounds like some of the language used in MLM pitches.

Search for "Entity Name" of "Life Corporation". From there, you can get a list of corporate leadership. CEO (when searched on linkedin) shows the CEO is also a CEO of:
It seems to be all surrounding a call-center. It all fits.
