NY Dept. of State – Division of Corporations
- Handles foreign qualification and assumed name filings.
- If a Delaware LLC is operating in NY without registering or without a DBA, you can file a complaint or tipabout unregistered business activity.
NY Attorney General – Consumer Protection Bureau
- Since the use of “Blake Brown Beauty” without a DBA is seemingly misleading consumers, you can report it here.
NY Dept. of Taxation and Finance
- If Family Hive LLC has employees in NY but hasn’t registered as an employer or filed taxes, this could be reported as suspected tax avoidance.

I believe CA is relevant for Family Hive/Blake Brown Beauty as well:

California Secretary of State
- Enforces foreign qualification for out-of-state LLCs- non-compliant LLCs should be reported.
County Clerk (e.g. Los Angeles County)
- Enforces fictitious business name (DBA) filings. If “Blake Brown Beauty” is being used in CA without a DBA, that’s reportable.
California Franchise Tax Board (FTB)
- Can be aggressive about pursuing unregistered foreign LLCs. Reports can be made about companies doing business in CA but failing to pay annual taxes.

IRS
- If there’s reason to believe the lack of foreign registration is being used to avoid reporting payroll, sales, or other taxable activity in NY/CA, this can be flagged in an IRS Whistleblower Report (Form 3949-A or Form 211 for reward claims).
Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
- If the branding (e.g., “Blake Brown Beauty”) is used without proper disclosure of the underlying company, that could be reported as consumer deception.

Trademark Opposition filings (like Family Hive’s against Beauty by Blake) are public. If Blake’s team is litigating aggressively while being noncompliant in NY/CA, pointing that out to reporters or regulators could add weight.
Competitors often use this tactic: if a company sues them, they counter by raising unregistered business activityas a defense or complaint.

New York Department of State, Division of Corporations
- Since BlakeL, Inc. is registered as a foreign corporation in New York, they oversee its status.
- Misleading or false officer information would fall under NY Business Corporation Law §1304 (false statements in filings).
- Website: dos.ny.gov/corporations
California Secretary of State, Business Programs Division
- They handle corporate Statements of Information (like the ones where “Blake Reynolds” signed).
- You can file a Complaint of Business Misrepresentation or contact their Investigations Unit.
- Website: sos.ca.gov/business-programs

California Attorney General’s Office – Public Inquiry/Complaint Division. They can pursue corporate fraud if false filings are tied to financial misconduct.
New York Attorney General’s Office – The Charities Bureau also investigates misrepresentation if nonprofits are involved, but even for for-profits, the AG has broad corporate fraud authority.
If BlakeL, Inc. or the alleged “two-person LLC” structure was used for tax benefits, laundering, or income concealment, the IRS Whistleblower Office would be the most powerful place to report:

IRS Form 211 (Whistleblower Award Application) lets you report suspected tax fraud.
Website: irs.gov/compliance/whistleblower-office

For company Blakel for example, the filings list Jackoway Tyerman Wertheimer (Hollywood entertainment law firm) as handling service of process. If lawyers knowingly filed false statements:

You could file a complaint with the California State Bar or New York State Bar against any attorneys involved.
Grounds: assisting in fraud / filing false corporate documents.

If you want outside pressure:

ProPublica (nonprofit investigative newsroom, has a tip line for corporate/financial misconduct).
Hollywood Reporter / Variety legal desks often publish on celebrity corporate dealings (although I very much doubt they will report these due to their relationships with Ryan etc, you never know).
Tax Justice Network or Transparency International (if framing it as money-laundering risk).
