I think that the key point is, this kind of thing _is_ legit, if you are honest about what's happening. The dev is foreign, we have a local project manager to handle communications. This is not uncommon. If you are a foreign programmer actually able to program, this is how you would do it. If you DON'T do it this way, but instead get an actor to play a local dev, then it is because you cannot actually program, and therefore need to borrow someone else's identity to get contracts.
