I have seen many cases here in our country that a foreign people do their illegal business here. They think that our country is not that tight so they do their dirty business here like making illegal drugs and stuffs. But in the end, they end up going to prison, not the prison in their home country but prison here. That shows us that it is not an excuse if you are a foreign men here in our home land, that does not mean you can do all your illegal work in a foreign country, every country has their own laws and no one is above it.

In addition to the principle of law: Not knowing the law does not allow you to obey it, any person must respect the financial and investment rules of each country, due to the technology of the Web, there are no borders for trading, but in the case of USA OFAC and The Department of the Treasury, the rules extend outside American jurisdiction
Yes. of course you may. but it doesn't mean you'll be exempted to whatever law they have. However the penalty still varies depending in which country you committed such crime

I can not commit a crime at all. Is it that either me or my close people will have something or someone to threaten. Then probably I can commit a crime. And it does not matter what kind of country it is.


I, too, can not commit crimes regardless of what country I am in. It is necessary to observe the laws so that it does not lead to chaos in the world.

Doesn't this depend on whether that country has extradition treaties with your country? I am not well versed about this issue though. But kids, crime doesn't pay.

Well when it comes to Bitcoin (or other cryptocurrency) you need to be smart about how you deal with it. Don't leave markers or clues about your dealings, if you're in a situation that you are posing. The government in question would have to expend resources to prove that you did anything illegal. If you covered your dealings by not leaving markers for them to find then they can't prove that you did anything wrong. That's the nature of cryptocurrencies, it's supposed to be outside of government control. Part of that is they don't know everything that happens on the network.

If your country outlaws Bitcoins, and you are using Bitcoins abroad, you could be in trouble in your country when you get back. In some cases you could be extradited back to your country, if say for instance your country claims that you are dealing Bitcoins in their country from outside. If you are one of their citizens (which is something that they decide) then it gives them more power.

These are the kinds of situations that I'm thinking of.

Can you commit crime outside your country, and then get in trouble for it when you return? What if what you do doesn't affect your country but is still illegal in your country? Does it matter if the person committing the crime outside his or her country is a citizen of his or her country?

For instance, what if you have insider knowledge of the stock market, and you're investing in a way that's illegal, but you are living and working outside of the United States?

As far as the United States goes it seems that they don't always acknowledge where their jurisdiction ends. I know the US has a big exemption list that includes many western countries or other socialist countries that have their own income tax, but other than that they say that you're supposed to pay taxes to the USA on non US dollars that you earned while working and living outside of the the country!

Changed title for clarification.
