If an H1b worker has a company based on their origin country, can't they legally work behind that company?

If their origin company is participating in the contract with an entity of the host country and the finances and transactions are all based on the origin country does that violate any work visa rules?

Technically, the worker is not participating in a income activity and the income he is generating is based and limited to his origin country. If they don't bring any money from their origin company to the host country, wouldn't that be legal?

But then again, ICE tends kick people off at a drop of a hat. So, really need to know if this process is absolutely legal. Thank you.

US visas are not about where the company you're working for is based. They're all about where you are located. If you're in the US, then you can't do unauthorized work for any company, no matter where that company is located.
