I keep seeing Seychelles[0] popping up everytime I research offshore hosting providers. I don't know why this is. I think it's one of those rare countries where you can't simply subpoena a hosting provider and ask for specific data / business records. I'm not sure if this helps with doing illegal crypto programming[1], but I do know in the early crypto wars people had to travel far and wide to weird countries to do their programming.
