I think that's a good breakdown. We can imagine that even a merchant that uses the proceeds to fund a dogfighting ring, may still use some of the money to feed their children—a mixed bag like you said. This is perhaps because there isn't a 1-to-1 exchange relationship with the unethical practices. It is several causal links down the chain, and as such, may suffer from a bit of a slippery slope fallacy.
Are there legal example where a consumer was held liable for a merchant's practices? For example, purchasing stolen items, etc?
