You're thinking way too complicated...

If you pay someone to commit a crime, then you're guilty of that crime too.

If spamming US citizens is a crime, then the person in the US who paid 
the, say, Taiwanese bulker, to spam US citizens, is guilty of it too.

Given that something like 80% of spam is flogging US-based services in 
one way or another, that's a huge bite.
