30 sats \ 0 replies \ @TwoLargePizzas 12 Jul \ on: Where are the tainted sats? bitcoin
If we're going to talk about tainted sats I would like to understand what the risks actually are?
As far as I'm aware receiving money is not a crime. But it could be used to connect you to a crime.
Receiving money is also a taxable event. If you failed to declare it as income on your taxes that would also be illegal.
If you didn't actually commit a crime it would seem to me the risk is being falsely accused of a crime you didn't commit.
Don't get me wrong, the risk is certainly not zero. There's obviously corruption in the legal system. People do get caught in the crossfire sometimes. We also don't know what the future holds, some future political change could greatly increase the risk of receiving tainted sats.
In an ideal world I never want to receive tainted sats. But it seems to me the simple act of receiving them is not the issue. The risk is the surrounding evidence that connects you with a crime you didn't commit.
