    Ultimately, this is not about individual lawyers - it's about what is wrong with the law. The tactics described in the film are commonplace. It is simply too easy to hide who you you are and what you are doing behind companies.  This has to change. You can help fix this problem, and help cut off some of today’s worst crimes at the source.This is a national problem, so to address it, Congress needs to act.   
And this investigation shows New York to be at the heart of this issue. So the state's Congressional Delegation, including its senior Senator Chuck Schumer, need to demonstrate leadership.   This means moving their colleagues in Congress to support federal legislation to crack down on the abuse of anonymously owned shell companies in the U.S.  
Join us in calling on Sen. Schumer, New York’s Congressional Delegation, and Congress to enact common sense reforms that make company ownership in the U.S. more transparent, and prevent our country from being a dumping ground for suspect money.  This petition is now closed, thank you to everyone who signed it!
