I’ve come up with a method. I’ll find a foreigner who can do the work and have them say they’re responsible for everything mentioned, while I take on a different role that’s unrelated. But in reality, I’m the one doing everything. This way, when filing taxes, it won’t appear that I’m doing anything illegal. It’s similar to working as a driver for adult film actors; even though the income comes from a company that produces adult films, it doesn’t mean that I’m the producer or distributor of the films, especially if no evidence can be found.
doing one illegal act to cover up another. great idea. no one's ever get caught for tax fraud or money laundering
Yeah. No. This won't work. Having a front man doesn't keep your computer from having all the files, with all the history of the work on those files. Then there's the IP address when you upload files to be downloaded, access to Patreon/Subscribestar, etc. If you are getting the funds directly from the platform, those records are discoverable. If you have the front man get the money and then funnel it to you, that is all discoverable. Your emails with them, your texts with them, your discord msgs with them, etc. All discoverable.
Just you
I love this job, and I fight for it. I sleep just 4 to 6 hours, and I spend the rest of the time working. As for tax filings, they only need to be filed if funds are brought into the country. I have to remain under the radar, and I think my new plan is not to bring any money into the country or my domestic accounts. When I need to use the money, I'll do so abroad. I need to do more research on how to use crypto in those countries.Yeah. No. This won't work.

Even if you could "hide" all the evidence (not likely - since you're already describing this on a public-facing forum, you can't keep a secret well) --- if you are knowingly working for a company that is doing illegal activity, charges are always a possibility. The driver of a getaway car in a bank robbery isn't robbing the bank themselves... but they get prosecuted.
There are so many holes in your logic that a herd of elephants could charge through unabated.
If it's illegal, don't do it.
If you want to risk your freedom, that is your decision... but don't fool yourself.
Also, don't add other possible offenses that can be added to your charges if/when you are caught. In some countries, what you are thinking through may qualify you for racketeering charges on top of the porn charges. Even if the porn charges don't stick, they can still get you on the racketeering.
All for jack and shit for earnings in game development.
The media adult game developer on Patreon brings in about $100 USD per month after they have been developing for over 3 years.
Do you really want to risk all that for about $1,000 USD per year?
Just you
I have no faith in your ability to do something without getting caught. Again:
If you can't keep your ideas to yourself now, there's no reason to believe you will be able to keep yourself safe down the line. You've already shown you're your own worst defense.
Good luck and I hope you are able to secure a good attorney, as well as have a strong family who will do what they can from the outside to make sure your time on the inside isn't as horrible as it can be (sex crime prisoners - which is what you would be classified as - are the lowest on the prison hierarchy in terms of respect. They are the ones who end up being the bitches of others).
