I don’t disagree, but I'm also not talking about debating a Mediterranean diet vs keto, I’m talking about cutting out fast food and big gulps…

Those same people are now in the rehab business bilking the healthcare system for money

HK is over unfortunately

But to be fair, none of those hedge fund’s employees are employed by the caymans entity, and the only reason they are not in the US (at least for US hedge funds) is to accept non-taxable us investors and foreign investors, U.S. taxable investors typically invest through a Delaware LP.

The short version is that the employee’s country of residence will dictate on all of these variables rather than the country of the employer. I don’t think a foreign employee of a U.S. company has any US status

Yes they can

Short version - do it where or near where the bulk of your 1) customers 2) investors 3) leadership team are likely to be located, that also is not an administrative hassle. Stay out of continental Europe and tax havens that you’re never going to step foot in.

From a practical standpoint all small companies are out of compliance with tons of laws, they just fly below the radar, and do their best (not from a desire to be non-compliant, but that the laws are impossible to comply with without armies of accountants and attorneys) So do the best you can and move on with your life. You’re going to have the same employment problems with your German employee regardless of whether his employer is in the Isle of Man or Australia, so just suck it up and hire a an accounting firm to do the personal tax returns for the team and focus on your business.

Walmart actually diligences it’s vendors and manages its upstream supply chain - Amazon does zero diligence on its vendors and doesn’t manage its upstream supply chain

Amazon is great for random stuff that is <$25 and you don’t put close to/in/around your body/food. I.e. if you need some calculator batteries or a book, great - you’re insane to risk you or your family’s health buying food/personal care/kitchen products/toys that are counterfeit/potentially toxic on Amazon

(Not a lawyer etc.)

If you didn’t have a US founder I think you’d have more options, but since you do, just embrace the US - it’s will also be the easiest from a fundraising standpoint, and one of the cheaper options.

I actually think the US gives you the most choices from a vendor standpoint, and is the cheapest (or one of the cheapest from an administrative standpoint).

Regardless, definitely do it in a jurisdiction where one of the key founders actually resides (ideally the CEO and/or CFO) as that just makes the administration much easier to have someone on the ground.

No

Well 60% is insiders and 5% is institutions, which means the other 35% are likely individuals that are in for a rude awakening when they open their brokerage statement (and were likely the victims of some form of pump and dump).

Second you can’t get a borrow or it’s super expensive so there’s no marginal seller…until random retail investors or insiders bail…

Who knows what the algos, market makers, and stock promoters are doing with the stock, but a bunch of wash sales
