The question is not if people got in problem for that, the question is, is it illegal. And no, as far as I know, it is not legal. Still I know people who do it and it really depends on if you want to stay in the country and try to become a resident etc. If you do, it could be too risky.

How about starting a company back in your home-country?

Ya, starting up a company in our home-country is another option we are thinking, but we are targeting the US market, not sure how complicated the international business thing could get...
