MEGA, the "privacy company," is now based in Hungary, via MEGA Privacy Kft in Csomád. Found this out on their "About us" page.

Maybe @[email protected] is right and it's for some tax benefits. But similar companies usually choose Ireland as a European foothold, if tax avoidance is an important factor.

The companies address on the NZ companies' office was not updated yet: https://app.companiesoffice.govt.nz/companies/app/ui/pages/companies/4136598/detail

And as I can see on other sites it's still owned by the same Hong Kong company.
