"Bent over in all directions" is a bit of an exaggeration, most countries nowadays abide by various conventions to prevent money laundering & terrorism funding, since the G7 founded the FATF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force

The US beat them in to submission you mean.

Ironic since the US is more or less the world leader for money laundering and tax evasion. It also bothers me that the US has spent billions of dollars over the past several decades fighting narcotics just to turn around and make them legal. They must have passed the "It's Ok When We Get Our Cut" Act when I wasn't looking.

Yeah weird that so many American companies set up headquarters in places like Ireland when it’s so easy to evade corporate taxes here.

That is mostly for access to the European market. Tax evasion on the domestic market works too, but differently.
