I do noticed that the one who been selling me BTC is scammer although he never cheat nor scam me since I am using a secure method and limit the amount of money of each trade. I am scarring he is using me as a medium of money laundering his stolen bitcoin or obtained illegally. I might facing the same situation again in future. At the same time I do need to know the risk if I am buying BTC from a stranger what kind of risk I might facing. I dun like to live in fear , doubt and uncertainty.

Nobody likes to live in fear, but I reckon you're probably being overly paranoid. What user and how much have you bought / spent?

Due to my understanding there is no standard or agreed method to show that someone is the owner of a wallet or  address. So IMO anyone also can be the owner if we know the password.

I think from a legal standpoint, it would depend of the law wherever you are.

From a moral standpoint, it's the same regardless of where you are.

From a legal perspective, if its small amounts then it may go under the radar as the risk/return is quite low.

If you are looking at a substantial sum, then there is more than the legal worry... What if you F with the wrong person?
