For example, the German freelance visa requires a local economic interest, which translates to having clients in Germany. If you can't find German clients, you won't get the visa nor be ableto renew it. They check this thoroughly.

Howeber, Malta let's you buy a EU citizenship for 650,000€, and other EU countries have similar schemes for rich people.

Yep, I heard about this already. I have a German residence permit, and I don't have 650k at hand anyway.
