The recipient is held partially responsible for knowing that profits / money are not from ill-gotten enterprises. It’s not fair. It’s legal. But the family could never have been that ignorant.

If you see a crime and don't report it, then you are an accessory to that crime. Can also be and should be prosecuted.

I turned the knob and someone screamed in pain. But I was told to turn the knob. Therefore I was not responsible for killing him. Conservatives don't like this requirement for responsible actions. Being responsible (and regulations that require it) would infringe on my god given freedoms.
