If individual A steals artwork, sells it to individual B, and then uses the cash to buy a car from individual C, and individual C uses the cash to buy a house, is the only person who loses anything individual B? (Assuming individual C didn't break any money laundering regulations) If the stolen property is BTC rather than art, there would be no reason you couldn't follow a perpetual chain of transactions after it. Curiously, that could be viewed as a very big strength for BTC rather than a weakness. I think a lot of trouble is saved by calling BTC a programmable currency rather than an anonymous one.
