This is generally incorrect (barring a strict liability regime, and even then possession implies control which you can argue did not exist without knowledge of the contraband's exitence.) In the above example, the purchaser would be exonerated. Possession typically requires intent. Unless the purchaser knew or should have known that contraband was within his possession he would not be guilty of any crime.

Yes, he might be arrested, but the general process will leave him with zero culpability. Kind of like how the purchased account was banned and subsequently unbanned and Eccezan was declared innocent.

As I asked before, should purchasing an account impute the guilt for the seller's crimes to the purchaser? Whether or not purchasing an account should be legal is not the same issue as to whether or not purchasing an account transfers liability from the transgressor to the purchasing party.

In your example you assume that the purchaser would be guilty of smuggling illegal firearms, when such is not the case in real life, nor is it the case here vis a vis purchasing accounts.

Xasten rocks! <3
