Ask HN: Would it be illegal for a UK citizen to work in the US on a tourist visa

If they were being paid via a UK company. ie: offshoring the work although the worker would be present. Does anyone have any knowledge of this please?

When you fill in the form to get your US tourist visa (or visa waiver - which is more common) you declare explicitly that you will not be doing paid work.

That is correct: you cannot enter the USA with the intention of working whilst traveling on a tourist visa.
