I won't say it - but let me play devils advocate, there won't be any shortage of law enforcement saying if the circumstances are right and if the person handling the case feels it appropriate.
At least in the UK, it is a related concept - and yes it includes money gained from theft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handling_stolen_goods#Elements_of_the_offence
Includes any proceeds of that property, including money for which it has been sold, and anything bought with those proceeds
The situation is further complicated by the concept of recklessness or wilful blindness to the circumstances; either will be treated as a belief
.. and this part is a bit dodgier because - yes it will depend on interpretation, and will be sufficient grounds to at least launch a prosecution, freezing of accounts while the case is in progress etc. that the goods are stolen. Thus, *suspicion* will be converted into belief when the facts are so obvious that belief may safely be imputed<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imputation_%28law%29> -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists@gmail.com)
