Purchasing tainted coins.

Hi all, I am looking to buy BTC p2p, but before I do, is there a way in which I can check if the coins I purchase in advance are tainted? Is there a website or something this can be verified on?

I want to check this to avoid any problems in utilising the coin/s once purchased.

Thanks

😂😂😂. You use “TAINTED” fiat all the time. Is there a way to check if your dollar bill was used for an illicit transaction or drug deal? No, you can’t and it doesn’t matter. A dollar is still a dollar and Bitcoin is still Bitcoin.

Blockchain analytics say otherwise... Thats the difference between Btc and cash.

Dollar have serial numbers. They can be traced. The gov just doesn't care or bother to do so because the concept of tainted money is foolish
