The company's name consists of Rosenberg's initials, while the mailing address of the LLC is identical to that of his real estate investment firm, Greystone, which is located in the Carnegie Hall Tower in New York.
After an extensive search in New York's corporate database, no names matching SR 2018 were found. However, Delaware's Division of Corporations did list a company with the same name as Rosenberg's.

Delaware is one of the preferred states to create a shell company due to corporate-friendly laws and a judicial system that is known to efficiently resolve business litigation.
