Who is Perfect Privacy, LLC?

Mangione's legal team launches new website--but who's the registrant?

I didn’t expect to post two stories tonight, but know from experience that when I’m in this chair writing, I need to do as much as I can before my ADHD spoils my plans.

Another reader, SocraticPath, sent me the web address to a website that appears to be a kind of clearinghouse for all things Mangione, in terms of his incarceration and defense team. It can be found at: https://www.luigimangioneinfo.com

I’m sure many if not most of my readers have already taken a look at this site, so I’m not going to spend any time going through what’s on the site. Also, I haven’t yet confirmed with Agnifilio Intrater that this website is run by Mangione’s legal team, but nothing leads me to believe it’s not legit (still, I’ll confirm). The bland design alone screams attorney!¹

What I do find interesting is the site’s Whois listing. The owner of this site is not, on first glance, Agnifilio Intrater or Luigi Mangione. It’s a company called Perfect Privacy LLC, with an address out of Jacksonville, Florida. You can look at the whois information by clicking this link.

According to the Florida Department of State, Perfect Privacy LLC is a “foreign limited liability company.” Though this sounds curious, the word “foreign” in this instance is simply referring to a company organized in another state but doing business in Florida—in this case Connecticut.

The registered Florida agent of Perfect Privacy LLC is a company with a name that made me laugh out loud: Corporation Service Company, out of Tallahassee. (I laugh because it’s the most generic, phone-it-in company name I’ve ever seen, akin to “Business Company Corporation.”) CSC is just a company that does provides registration agency and compliance services, so nothing odd here.

Even funnier and more generic is the title agent listed on the Florida business listing: “Web.com Group.” This company is a website building company that also offers domain registration and hosting. It is located at the same address as Perfect Privacy LLC but not Corporation Service Company.

All of this simply suggests that whoever wanted to put up this website didn’t want to be publicly affiliated with it and so utilized Perfect Privacy LLC to provide private registration.

So why might someone do this—pay extra—when one can typically opt-in or opt-out of private domain registration with their web builder? I’m sure some of my readers already know this but for those who might not, paying for private registration provides additional layers of anonymity. If a domain is registered with a built-in privacy option, the registrar itself (like GoDaddy or Namecheap) still holds the registrant’s details and could disclose them under legal pressure.

A separate service like Perfect Privacy LLC acts as an intermediary, potentially making it harder to trace ownership.

Using Perfect Privacy LLC could also help Agnifilo Intrater (if they are, in fact, the registrant) avoid registrar-specific issues. If someone is concerned about their registrar having access to their personal information or being subpoenaed directly, they may opt for a separate service to distance their data from the domain provider.

So either this is exactly what a law firm might do if they were registering a website for an alleged murderer or it’s exactly what an alleged murderer himself might do if he were registering a website.

My opinion? I haven’t thought on it enough, but my first reaction would be that it’s more likely to be Mangione’s registration. I see no reason why Agnifilo-Intrater would feel the need to hide their ownership. I also find it highly unlikely that Mangione would allow the firm to take ownership of a domain featuring his name (it’s valuable). And of course no one should.

I do see reasons why Luigi Mangione would utilize a multi-layered private registration for a domain like this. Certainly to control his name and image, but also because his liminal legal status makes the logistics of managing something like a domain registration rather difficult. In addition, news of Mangione taking steps to secure this domain would no doubt be used to suggest he was trying to capitalize on his fame (the prosecution would argue he was trying to capitalize on the crime).

Note that www.luigimangione.com was quickly claimed (I’m not linking to it but have included a screenshot below) and is currently just a landing page with some AI-generated text about the case. Sadly, because of that text, it’s not likely Mangione owns the domain. A quick Whois search shows it to be Namecheap.com, which just means some random person probably picked it up quickly, hoping to be able to sell it for a pretty penny at some point.

Ultimately, this is just trivia, but interesting to think about nonetheless. As always, if you have expertise in this area or information, please send me a message!

1. Update: The Agnifilo-Intrater website has a link to this site on theirs—scroll all the way down on any page on their site to find it. Also, I hadn’t visited the firm’s website since reaching out to Karen Agnifilo a few months ago to confirm a TikTok story about an email she’d sent, and—wow, the website has gotten a major refresh! In addition to a better design, their representation of Mangione and P.Diddy is now front and center under “Press.”
