33K while I was in Venezuela. I had an old U.S. account, so I wanted to change it to Venezuela. My PayPal U.S. account had crazy address like: Avenida GRGRGR, Estado GRGR, United States. They said to me, you can't change the country, so you should create a new account. I did that, but once I noticed less features in PayPal Venezuela, I decided to keep the same code in my website and move the money from the U.S. account to the Venezuela account. I have 1% or less of chargebacks. My customers are happy.

You should lawyer up. Having multiple accounts with intentionally fake adresses and this sum of money may be illegal and punishable according to money laundering laws; and the business may get you thrown out of USA permanently due to visa violation - so you need to protect yourself.
