> Sidenote: one of the reasons i don't touch crypto is possible laundering charge/suspicion if the tokens happens to had passed through unsavory hands/situation

A page recently posted here ([1], citing [2]) claimed that there's a market for freshly mined Bitcoin (i.e. with no history), with people paying as much as 20% markup for it to avoid such risks.

I didn't make any attempt to verify this claim.

It still doesn't protect from possible future tainting of those tokens and thus suspicion of your participation. It may be even more suspicious as you would be the one who bought clean coins supposedly in order to minimize attention to whatever future crime the tokens may be involved.

or actually it is money launderers looking for tokens with no previous history they can use to evade some % of future scrutiny

So you get 1.2 btc from unknown origin for 1 fresh btc. looks like the simplest laundering scheme.
