But I imagine the reason exchanges are refusing these transactions is at least half because they would be receiving stolen property. I'm not sure but I don't imagine "I'm receiving property stolen from another country" will stand up as a defense in any court.

It's not clear. But the lawyers at these exchanges aren't going to take that risk and will strongly advise against receiving stolen property.
