the news that has come out lately about the banking systems having been hacked, etc. This kind of thing would draw a direct line of sorts to the bank account of the person/company involved with the exit node. This information could be used later by someone who doesn't have the person's best interest in mind.
While that's true, there's no requirement to be reimbursed. And there is a path forward: create or work with a trusted organization who is willing to shoulder liability, risk, and expense of investigating the legality and tax consequences, and then actually executing, reimbursing people through anonymous means.
It's not easy. May not even be possible. But there is a rigid but not inflexible framework of tax law that must be worked within.
IMO, this is net gain. Excited to see it happen, and congrats to all whose hard work has brought it here.
