    What if I upload my consciousness to the internet, then ran that through a VPN and Tor and iP2P and all that, think I could shake him?

        I think we’re discussing the limitations of a fictional being. In the context of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”, I’m not sure his powers apply to the internet, being that “He sees you when you’re sleeping…”, but he only “… knows when you’re awake.” So if my incorporeal consciousness was uploaded to the internet, do you think I could spoof my online status to green, so that I’d be untraceable to Santa?

            If we’re building a thing, I don’t think Krampus would be as limited, but his punishment wouldn’t be as dire.

        Or maybe part of his elf crew includes an elite hacking division, and he’s essentially in every government network.
