It seems to match the real world in some ways; If I barter and end up accepting stolen physical goods, things can go rather badly for me.

yes, but in many (most?) legal systems you cannot change the rules so you are liable for past events.

I.e. if you accept counterfeit money, it's on you, but your money should not become counterfeit overnight.
