How "Anonymous" can a founder get?

It's not for "avoiding the fame" or anything like most of these kind of posts say, its for security.

Let's say that the product this company releases could make some very bad people angry like cartels and multinational gangs.

What can a founder do in order to hide its personal information to avoid getting tracked by those people?

And just in case, assume that those people have connections to the goverment as in corruption, so even if only they have access to it, it will still get out.

    In the US, you can stay 100% anonymous using shell corporations, but it's fairly expensive to set up and requires some discipline from anyone who knows the secret.

      Except you will have to disclose ownership for KYC requirements to financial institutions, and for the new BOI yearly filing in the US.

      That's not a feature of a shell corporation, but of agent listings where incorporated such as Delaware series LLCs. One way would be to have an S corp that owns a series LLC.

    You might want to look into the history of the name "Satoshi Nakamura" to see what's possible and what might be involved in accomplishing it.

      BTC is decentralized and the genesis block is not necessarily tied to a specific or known particular company.

        Yes, that's my point. Nobody ever managed to associate the pseudonym with a specific company or individual conclusively.
