Overheard a guy in a Bangkok co-working space bragging about his 'fake office' setup

I was grabbing coffee at this spot near Sukhumvit last week and some dude was telling his friend he uses a virtual mailbox service in Delaware plus a VPN to pretend he works for a US company. He said he's been doing it for 18 months and the IRS hasn't caught on yet. That kind of stuff could totally get you flagged if you ever need a visa or open a bank account abroad. I looked up the rules after I heard him and most countries want proof of real self-employment income, not just a PO box. Has anyone here actually run into trouble trying to fake a permanent address while bouncing around?
