Remote workers sometimes set up bank accounts abroad so they don’t have to bring them back into Argentina (and thus under the watchful eye of the government). They hold funds in places like Payoneer, PayPal, Mercury, or Estonian and US bank accounts, and withdraw just enough in Argentina to pay for the day-to-day expenses. Sometimes these are set up legally, and sometimes they are not.
In fact, this is true, since when you want to bring dollars into the country they will automatically exchange them for pesos at the official price.
Ex: 1 dolar official = 140 ARS 1 dolar blue = 291 ARS
