if you believe that, then you are really clueless. do you think the average person is familiar enough with the Internal Revenue Codes of the USA and should take it upon themselves to just do anything they want without fully understanding the issues and consequences? saying "hey man, get professional advice" seems pretty sensible to me. i mean, whether anyone wants to accept reality or not, we are talking about "big time, fuck you in the ass prisons" where each maximum penalty is going to be measured in decades... not hours or pennies.
you have to be legal at home
you have to be legal in the tax jurisdiction you are working. the two go hand in hand. i am not sure why you dont grasp that when you seem to grasp most other things. for example, i can't just say "ok, i live in the bahamas now... FUCK YOU USA". it does not work like that. I am still a US citizen and still required to report any income earned world wide and the only way i would not be taxed is if i met the tax requirements of that place i declared as my tax residence and they also had a double taxation treaty with the USA. A jurisdiction with zero income tax is not going to have a double taxation treaty with any western country.
I know the USA is not the center of the world, but the tax laws in the EU, ex-CIS and North America are very similar in these respects... so i know for a fact that you cannot just make blanket statements saying "you can do it" if you don't know all the facts and are not familar with all the tax laws fo both jurisdictions involved.
