Well the labor market part is right. But the time zone this is nonsense. H1B hires are all but indentured servants. There is always a fear of losing your job, then losing your sponsorship, then being shipped home. So H1Bs tend to not rock any boats within a corporation and will work whatever hours are asked of them. My comment was a cheeky way of saying that corporations have no morals and will always reverse course on a previous "culture" decision they made if it is economically expedient.

The trick being discussed, that you're too stupid to understand, it knowing the applicant is, in fact, in, or even from, an Asian country.

HR literally has to vet new hires for various legal reasons. One being for tax purposes. The other is verifying that you can indeed legally work in the US. Don't tell me that these people are that sophisticated that they have a fool proof scam going on that easily evades those verification steps. Hackers and scammers succeed because most companies are just plain lazy.

I mean, when I get hired I have to provide proof of where I live for tax purposes. HR always asks for copies of my IDs, my home address, and my phone number. I also have to provide bank information for when I want to get paid. Ya'll are acting like it's just easy to say "Yes I live in Minnesota" and that's that.
