If you follow Apple's official address to a lawyer's office in Delaware, don't be surprised that Tim Cook isn't there to greet you.

For what it's worth the only "official address" I could find was Apple Park in Cupertino.

Apple is registered in California, as both their website ( https://investor.apple.com/faq/default.aspx https://investor.apple.com/faq/default.aspx ) and their most recent form 8-K ( https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000320193/beb2c243-4eda-4029-b91d-123de22558be.html https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000320193/beb2c24... ) confirm.

    They have 6000 employees located in Ireland including most of their support staff for the EU. They just opened another office in Dublin. They are also there for 45 years already, so not sure where "just a po box" comes from. https://www.siliconrepublic.com/business/apple-to-open-dublin-city-office-with-300-strong-team-planned https://www.siliconrepublic.com/business/apple-to-open-dubli...

    Big PO box; it's a little under 100,000sqm.

Indeed, their registered agent address is 1209 North Orange Street in Wilmington.

  So what? A registered agent is literally the agent registered to accept process service. The registered agent is clearly not the corporate headquarters, a branch office, or anything other than a business whose purpose is to accept lawsuits, subpoenas, and other legal and official notices.

    Well, that's the same thing the NPR article is reporting on, which is the equivalent legal concept in Panamanian law. Polymarket's actual offices are remote-first, but they have a small space set up in New York City which is the closest thing they have to an HQ. It's basically set up like a coworking / hotel sort of space.

It's an interesting "problem". The cities we have now exist because businesses and people want to be located in the same geographical area to maximize, well, doing business. Now the opposite is happening. Businesses have no incentive being located in the same physical area they do business in. In fact, they have opposite incentives. The closer they are to their customers and workers, the less they can do things with impunity.

The issue wasn't that the CEO was missing when they dropped by the Panama address. Rather it was that the (supposed) registered agent didn't know who they were. If I say "contact my lawyer" and you show up to his office and the receptionist informs you that I'm not a client ...
