Yeah, that's illegal. But let's look at what you could do instead. I believe you can co-own an American company as a "normal" foreign citizen and be in the US from time to time for a couple of weeks, as long as you go home to your resident country in between. I know some business people who actually do that, jetting back and forth between two or three countries where they are involved. It's a pretty interesting lifestyle, too, as long as you can afford the plane tickets and (at least) two separate homes.
