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.
