It doesn’t work like this. You are primarily beholden to the laws of the country you live in.
Unless you are enough of an issue that the US uses its federal might to clobber you internationally. In that case, you are pretty universally fucked.

This is only true to the extent that “primarily” is distinctly different from “exclusively”; in practice, you are beholden to the laws of any sovereignty that chooses to enforce them against you and has a reach that extends to your person and/or property of interest, either territorially, or through agreements (either pre-existing and general or specific to your situation and ad hoc) with other sovereigns, or through the will and capacity to exert force extraterritorially.
