Semantics aside, I think it's quite clear they are trying to mislead by giving the appearance of being an American company. What does their company address show on their website? Delaware. The report mentioned that their LinkedIn profiles changed from showing Moscow to Tbilisi. I'm sure I could also change my location to Tbilisi on my LinkedIn profile. How is that a meaningful argument? I don't want any amount of my money going to the Russian economy if I can avoid it, even if it's merely pennies as you say. Why do you care to defend them so much? |

Using a legal entity in a more convenient country for a startup seems like a common practice, including listing the address of such entity on the website. You'd be surprised how many companies are incorporated in America, pay taxes there, but have founders/employees/contractors elsewhere around the world.
So, I personally wouldn't count it as active effort of "trying to hide" or "trying to mislead".

Again, not sure why assume malice intentions. I also updated my Linkedin location when I left Russia, is that surprising?

Pavel pays me 15 rubles per comment of course! (tbh not sure why I waste time on this :D)
