I worked at a place where I did tech support for some networking equipment. A few big customers insisted all their support run through the US & US citizens (this was the case anyway, but it was part of their support contracts).
The big customers were mostly banks and financial institutions. I always assumed the idea was that everyone was in the same legal jurisdiction and while I'm sure corruption crosses financial boundaries ... they also knew their support people were well paid full time employees that the equipment maker had a direct relationship with.
