where do you see that they are Russian? they seem to have a bunch of US Patents, a Delaware postal HQ, and an office in the UK


Most of the staff looks to be Russian: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flipper-devices/people/


The top "Where they live" is UK.


whew. that's a relief


The company makes Flipper Zero as well. When they launched that product, the same topic came up [0]. The strongest argument given seems to hinge on the former nationality/residence of many of the original team. Obviously, different people will weight that above or below the UK address / USA incorporation.

the original team is Russian, but they downplay that a lot now (until you buy one and the promo stickers are in Russian). yes, they're registered in Delaware, almost every company that operates in the US is, including foreign companies.
