From your own link:
"A person can be found guilty of that offense only if all of the following facts are proven:
The person received or concealed or stored or disposed of items of stolen property.
The items were moving as, or constituted a part of, interstate commerce.
The items had a value in excess of $5,000.
The person acted knowingly and willfully."
So that doesn't really answer the question asked, because it's only a federal crime if the goods are known to be stolen and a part of "interstate commerce."
Now, at the state level, this may differ. But neither of us has that information.
- dexen 8y agoA subsequent section on Wikipedia (link [1] in GP) tells us the following: >All US states also have laws regarding receipt of stolen property; however, there usually is no minimum dollar amount in many jurisdictions, and, of course, the requirement in Federal law regarding interstate commerce does not apply. i.e., USA-wide >Also, in many states (Ohio, for example), the burden to prove criminal intent is not as stringent or is nonexistent. i hereby rest my case.
