They wouldn't need to pay taxes because the money to purchase the financial instrument (whether it's a stock or a cryptocurrency) should already have been taxed in the country where the buyer resides. And, at least in my country, you can't use a financial trade like that to get a tax deduction.

How would they afford to buy the cryptocurrency from the shell company in the first place?
