    moody got the main point of it, but there’s lots of shady shit in delaware when it comes to law. it’s the main home of patent trolls, for one. there was a, i think, vice documentary some years ago where they went around a huge office building with nobody in it, every door had like five company names on it; they just needed an office in that jurisdiction to be able to do legal proceedings there. because the district attorney and judge were father and son.

      Not just patent trolls, most US corporations (at least every non boutique tech company I’ve worked for over the past 20 years) are incorporated in Delaware.
