Afaik, he isn't in any way liable for where the cryptocurrency comes from or under what circumstances it was gained. KYC regulations and anti-money laundering provisions only apply to exchanges. At most he's legally obligated to report the transaction because it's a taxable asset.

Ethically he is.

I didn't mention laws.

There's just no point in invoking ethics in something like this when the ethical concerns affect every commonly used currency.

I can make the same point for every currency.

But crypto is definitely special
