>What if someone cashes out before Bobcorp notices?
People (exchanges etc) will be wary of accepting large transactions which have moved a lot recently from untrusted sources, whereas coins that have sat in the same wallet for a few weeks won't be discounted against as much etc.
To give some intuition advice here, think of it like how a risk management department of a financial institution would, trying to price grey risks; not like a distributed systems engineer does, trying to reason about edge cases as either Boolean correct/incorrect.
("Hmm, guess we'll have to discount fast moving coins from people we don't know" vs "If the hacker sells it fast enough the whole taint thing is unworkable and everything will be fungible again") Analogous to https://xkcd.com/538/ https://xkcd.com/538/ - regulators and financial institutions will take the $5 wrench approach!
