I think that any funding source would still be subject to US money laundering rules and laws. If I try to invest $5M in Magic Leap, I have to be a qualified investor and the funding has to be received by some US bank. Also, it seems like having these holes in a company’s books would be found by reputable investor’s due diligence since it’s a pretty huge risk that could impact the return.

Not speaking from direct experience, only logical first principles. I think the money needs to be laundered before i vesting in US firms.
