I would be much more conservative about this. A Panamanian Investment Company does not guarantee reliability. Probably this investment company is just registered there.
Foreign investment companies like to be incorporated in Panama just because Panamanian legislation is very convenient for such purposes if they operate outside Panama. It's quite easy to get licensed there.
Offshore companies are good to minimize taxes and reduce complexity of operation. The Panamanian companies are good for investment purposes.
So nobody currently knows if it will help Havelock to defense itself for sure in case of some serious emergency.
Erik Voorhees is currently developing Coinapult in Panama... I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least a nascent connection to the Havelock investment...
