Oh yes, they all have offshore entities. At least the ones that fund SEC registrants acknowledge them. It gets tricky when they don't.

Mauritius, Seychelles, and Comoro Islands are all good places for financial shenanagans and money laundering. The Comoros are a good front for companies that purport to be in the petroleum exploration and development biz as a ploy to 'explain' the transfers of large blocks of funds (as the oil/gas biz is known to be capital intensive) - many of these shells have never done anything related to petroleum nor will they. They are just conduits in the money laundromat.

One of the still-hidden spots is the Nicobar and Andaman Islands, which is a territory of India that is administered by a quasi-military entity. It is a very corrupt place where a little money can get you whatever you want - and it is somewhat insulated from India bureaucratically, so it's tough for the State Dept and other Federal agencies to gett cooperation - it's nott like just calling India and asking for information.

The real good locales for money washing and shady transactions are ones very few ever hear of. Any place the USA has little influence is always a candidate, given certain other capacities to transfer funds and be recognized internationally for legal purposes re: business entities domiciled there.
