Well, what's sensible?

Dunno. I was hoping you could help me out with that.

Stuff like the story about Coinmama shutting someone down for having a gambling transaction about 10-15 txs back is the type of thing that's worrying. I can get 1-2 tx away stuff that breaks terms and conditions, but if it was months and many wallets ago that's going to wind up nightmarish.

It sure is. I won't lie, this is probably going to end with lots of disgruntled exchange customers, frozen money, closed accounts, unexpected law enforcement investigations, etc. I've always been extremely careful to ensure that anything touching my Coinbase account is unimpeachable. Unfortunately with the way things are headed, we'll need to employ that sort of caution to most services -- maybe even lower tier exchanges registered in random island nations. You just never know.
