    It’s not elusive, it’s just fake. They still do all their business in other countries like the USA, they don’t actually have anyone hanging the fuck out in Panama.

      Aren’t there a ton of US companies that essentially share a mailroom as their address somewhere in New York to a similar effect? Why would NPR be surprised? I think someone wanted a vacation.
