In the SV office, which got shut down. I wonder if he's one of the few who got offered (and accepted) relocation.

The way I heard it, the SV office only existed in the first place because Lamport didn't want to move to Seattle. I kind of doubt they didn't offer him relocation, and I kind of doubt he accepted it.
