The Argentinian government, being a master of sense and competency, pre-emptively taxes white-market transactions on the normal banking system. They have power to enforce this on the credit card acquirers & merchant processors, and do it especially with foreign currency transactions.
Presumably there is some way to get 'refunded' some of the taxes back if you can prove to some idiot's satisfaction that you earned the money in a 'legal way' whatever that may mean.
So, doing it with bitcoin is basically a payment processor operating illegally and not collecting withholded taxes. It doesn't have much to do with bitcoin and everything about evading regulation.
