ORCA's Swiss quest · ORCA Wiki

Finding ORCA in Switzerland is not an easy task

There is nothing unusual about a company having offices in more than one country. With ORCA, however, it has become a farce. Either the management has difficulty with geography, or it is quite deliberately misleading its partners and investors. Below is a small selection of the company's own statements about where it is based. Sometimes Zug. Sometimes Zurich. Occasionally both at once.

There is a particular pleasure in the fact that ORCA describes itself as proudly Swiss.

This is comfortably the most absurd page on the site so far. Do look through the cards and draw your own conclusions about how any of this is possible in a serious company that claims to have invented the most groundbreaking product in cyber technology. Presumably it knows where it built it.

WHERE THE JOKE STOPS

All of this would be very funny indeed were it not so grim. There was, of course, no Swiss company. At most, there was a leased virtual address, and we shall return to that in due course.

Yet what might have been dismissed as harmless play-acting was nothing of the sort, because once there are investors in the room, the word no longer fits. And this Swiss company, ORCA Cyber Security GmbH, which did not exist, went on to put its name to commercial contracts running into millions.

That, I would say, is no longer mischief. That is no longer a prank. That, in my own view, is bad faith.

But all of it in its proper order, and later.
