Now I understand why money laundering regulations are so painful. I didn't expect money laundering to be publicly endorsed on HN but here we are. At least it's reassuring to not have to speculate on moral decay.
You are aware that criminal enforcement is a game of chance where you can never be sure what fish you're catching next? There is no such thing as "being salty" that would make the process any easier. When a criminal fails to cover his he gets found, it is that simple.
Because you sent them the cryptos on a voluntary basis. If you made an error, you can nicely ask them back, but they can nicely refuse. There is no notion of property, who owns the keys owns the management of the coins

How can you not see that "nicely" refusing is against the law after you have been prosecuted? You might argue that if someone sends you money you don't want, you only have to send it back once they get a warrant by a court but that isn't the problem here.
