Full Version: true size of the Company

After my timeline post research and the evidence in the recent GN's, something I've long suspected seems to be proven true, that the size and reach of the Company is far larger than we've seen on the show. Their roster seems enormous and I'm wondering if the Founders have split up into regional team leaders or something such. I claimed in the timeline post that the occasion for the group photo was the "Snow falls on Miami" crisis, but what was everyone doing in the time between that and the original Shanti crisis? Surely all of them weren't just laying low like Victoria... Were Linderman and Bishop the only two Founders actively directing Company policy, with the Petrellis and Charles Deveaux as support? Was Kaito only interested in Hiro and no other special people, even though he was seemingly well aware of the bomb plot? Will we find that the Founders had regional teams and operations outside the U.S., reflecting some of the items in the Vault? (Trojan Horse, Pyramid...) Or each, perhaps, operating under their own agendas and moral standards... What do you folks all think?

What I find interesting to speculate on is how the Company maintains itself within the US without being hassled and whatnot by the federal government alphabet organizations, the CIA and so on. Is it big enough that they just kind of look the other way or do they just not know about it or what?


Does it have branches, departments and whatnot in other countries?

I have always suspected the military was involved from the start. There are too many coincidences with SGs in Vietnam (see the War Buddies GNs) and HRG sent Hana to the Pentagon to retrieve the Lones Star file.

I would guess there are similar setups worldwide.

You seem to be dead-on about this. The new GN clearly states that military special forces sometimes get outsourced to the Company. Is this simply because of the vast monetary donations Linderman and Bishop contributed, or because of one of the Founders holding a high ranking position? Who would have the influence to manipulate military command like that even as far back as Vietnam as well as today?
