My research in 2015 turned up five Phoenix
Media LLCs in the United States at that time —
they were in New York, New Jersey, South
Carolina, Oregon and Wyoming. The NJ and
NY Phoenix LLCs don’t list registered agents,

2002. The Oregon and South Carolina Phoenix
LLCs seemed unremarkable, with registered
agents who are actual people. Phoenix Media,
LLC in Cheyenne, Wyoming is a dierent
