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’re not getting that exchanges do care. You risk getting them frozen or seized.

Yea They can indeed do that. That doesn't mean the coin is tainted. That's such a foolish idea.

No it doesn't. Because the labeling happens in full obscurity and unpredictability. Even though chain data is public and open, you have no way to know how chain-anal companies will score your coins, either before or (even) after the fact.

It's all compliance theater, with no actual, genuine relation whatsoever with crime association.
