Astroturfer Florian Müller reported to the FTC - Why?

I do not believe so, I believe you can give a contract to someone living
anywhere
in the world.

An employee would be different, but I don't think that's been claimed here

I don't think you need a U.S. green card to work for a U.S. company overseas
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, August 26 2012 @ 06:15 PM EDT
For instance, I doubt that you would need a U.S. Green Card
to sweep the floor at a McDonald's Hamburger restaurant in
the city of Hamburg, Germany, even if that restaurant was
directly owned by McDonald's U.S.

You only need a Green Card to actually work *in* the U.S.,
regardless of who you work for.

Unrelated to Mr. FM, there is another issue here:

Applying the bureaucratic aspects of U.S. SEC rules to
loosely related foreign entities is a serious problem which
affects all kinds of completely non-U.S. businesses. For
instance I have seen non-U.S. local IPOs having to include
extra clauses just to escape SEC interference and remain in
the jurisdiction of their local stock exchange.

Someone seriously needs to remind U.S. Government entities
(such as the SEC) about the list of grievances in its own
declaration of independence and the need to apply the golden
rule. In other words, USG entities should not do to
foreigners that which its own DoI says is not acceptable
acts of foreign governments against US citizens.
