Immigration officials question, detain, interrogate and investigate people all the time in their country for too many long term tourist/non-work related visas, too many entries into the country within a given year (eg visa runs) and maxing out too many long-stay tourist visas. Someone is probably being interrogated over this RIGHT NOW in Southeast Asia. An anonymous tip, especially in digital nomad heavy destinations like Southeast Asia or Latin America, will most definitely trigger a knock at the door from immigration officials and perhaps even the local tax revenue department.

>no first world country is going to give a shit where the expat is getting paid so long as they're still paying their taxes

Good job proving your illiteracy, retard. I literally said this right in my first sentence. The problem is retards like you, while compliant with Federal taxes, often forget to set up your state residency in a non-income tax state before going overseas and then forget to pay your state income taxes to your resident state when digital nomading. State tax revenue departments will definitely come looking for their cut if you are not compliant, with late fees, penalties and interest accumulating with each passing day past the filing date of the year you are not compliant. A lot of you also have no real estate of your own, which means that for (legally required) state residency purposes such as for bank accounts, mail, passports, insurance, etc you are using your parent's or relative's address, and if that address is in an income tax state and you aren't paying those state taxes, that state will come looking, and some of these states are notoriously aggressive with pursuing these state income taxes, some times years down the line after the above mentioned penalties have had time to aggressively accrue and compound.
