There is a big difference in companies that have branches completely managed overseas and someone moving their porn site hosting offshore to avoid US laws while continuing to run everything from and collect checks at their same perch in the US (while likely using the same rationale to not pay any income tax to the US). If you think that you won't get nabbed for money laundering, good luck, maybe you won't be caught.

I don't know of any company that pays taxes to workers, but if you think companies in the US don't pay taxes on the income that comes to them from other countries you need to do bit more research on your gameplan. People outsource to pay cheap labor. Of course some industries/companies get sweetheart deals through legislation, but I don't see it happening for porn anytime soon.

As long as that money being spent includes your food and lodging in the country you earned it in you'll probably be fine. Just be in their country legally... and pay whatever their taxes may be
