and then there is the idea that you have no idea if i am who i really am, or if i'm the one doing the work. i could be a face on Teams Calls for what is essentially 5 Vietnamese kids, and we're all in different jurisdictions, so if we decide to rip off your IP, who would you sue? could you even get that lawsuit off the ground?
and for all that risk you're eating 4% to do currency conversions & wire transfers. or else i'm standing up an offshore subsidiary at a cost and then dealing with payroll tax, filing costs, local HR and accounting, etc, as well. there is, potentially, a lot of liability and headache in that.
