In the country I live in, if you are in possession of stolen goods and the owner can prove they were stolen, they are entitled to the goods back. Doesn't matter how many transactions it went through or how hard you tried to determine if they were stolen. It's up to you as the buyer to verify it. I suspect it is the same in most places. If someone gave me money that he couldn't give me (for example, he stole it), I'm not required to give it back — he is. Another example is banks- sometimes it comes up that banks accidentally credit people's accounts with huge sums in error. This money does not belong to those people, and if they withdraw it, the banks can take legal action to get it back.
