here are few questions to think about,

is the "software services" sold here? is there a local business registered?

if its solely using an account of money transfer, then i have bad news for you its just a mule account. and this is a big issue.

ive had a family member entangled into something like this before. Person A (foreigner) promised my relative (person B) 10% commision for using her account for carpet business payment.

it went okay for about 8 months untill shit hit the ceiling. There was a lovescam that happened in australia and the money bounced into few accounts and finally into B's account. There was a whole police operation that went down and B was arrested.

it is all settled now, but for the sake of your friend, time to pull the plug on this operation. LHDN is only a small problem, but if the account gets money in and out from god knows where, it may be used for a scam. Account holders will be liable, ignorance defence will not work in the eyes of the law.
