Some sources have been stating that Real Social Dynamics is based in West Hollywood, Los Angeles. That was true until their status on their business was “FTB Forefeited” which means someone did not pay their taxes. They have since refiled their official business in Nevada.
The State of California Franchise Board states that the business loses its rights to conduct business, use its name, and defend themselves against lawsuits under their Los Angeles location. When you call their hotline at their West Hollywood location, somebody DOES pick up the phone: (310) 652-00137. It’s possible that location may just be a customer service center and not the official location of their business.
HOWEVER. they incorporated again, this time in Las Vegas until that license was revoked.
Third Time’s the Charm
Real Social Dynamics created a new business that is now currently active.

The location at 2780 S. Jones Ste. 3564 Blvd Las Vegas, Nevada seems to be their official business location as of date.
Nicholas Kho appears to live in Boston, however.
Nicholas “Papa” Kho also appears he may be a member of the Harvard Extension Business Society and attend the Harvard Entrepreneurship Conference.
Their other business locations include ones in England and one in Hong Kong:

We’re still in the process of researching the legitimacy of their European and Asian headquarters.
Help Us Out
To help us out, research if there are any legal discrepancies with Real Social Dynamics either with their American, European, or Asian locations. We are researching if they have been conducting business illegally either through their visas overseas or at their business locations. In most countries, there is a distinction between a tourist visa and a working visa.
Both Nicholas and Owen are well aware of the issue and believe this issue will pass. Email Nicholas Kho and Owen Cook to demand a response:
Nicholas Kho: papa@realsocialdynamics.com
Tyler (Owen Cook): tyler@realsocialdynamics.com

Obviously it is not legal for their instructors to visit a foreign city on a tourist visa, and then teach a “bootcamp”.
I applaud your effort to shut this nasty business down.
Video link needs update. Inform all journalists and others linking to it now.

Much as I detest the whole global visa ‘system’, I cannot think of more worthy people to go after using incorrect-visa-type technicality than these filthy scumbags … anything to shut these slimeballs down.
I really enjoyed this blog post
