Thats good news! . . so that TAX agency in that country the card is using it , if they want to investigate they have to contact the issuer bank abroad and ask how is the account owner?

Tax agencies investigate s**t... only irs is proactive
But still, they start with the data that is flowing in. That data will come from the bank you store money with , not from the card platform you top up

This is where @Martin Everson will cite his favorite example. 😀

But I'm going to beat him to it:

Hmmm, the article he always linked to said they were caught due to using US Amex credit cards. But this article sounds like they were caught by “whistleblowing”?
