No you would not. you would not give a fuck at all, where the money came from, how many people had to starve for it and what crimes were commited while laundring this money clean. Because you did your honest job and you want to be paid for it - full stop. No "what if" or "but there is a problem" and someone else's problems, e.g. that this crime was not figured out before is actually not your problem, is it? But you would be punished for something you have never done. Only because you were at the bottom of a criminal scheme without knowing and thus you have to pay for the sins of the people above you. Cool thing, huh?

What you advise is to endure this injustice. This is more than absurd imho, and the reasonable half of this thread will agree upon that.

Make up your mind, lads.

PS: If one day you wake up with a gigantic minus on your bank account and understand, that your ass has been fucked, then go to the bank in order to report that you were the victim of a fraud, and only hear a "I'm sorry Sir, but your money is gone and we can't do shit", then you will remember this thread, my words and only then you will probably understand what it's like when you're robbed and can't do anything the legal way to get your money back. Good night though. Watch your pockets, everyone.
That scenario happens all of the time. There are tons of ponzi schemes being exposed these days and investors who didn't know are left on the hook through clawbacks. That one guy who made a ton of money off Bernie Madoff, who later died in his swimming pool... His estate had to pay back billions to provide restitution to smaller investors.
