In order to continue the exchange or return the money, we must make sure that the funds were received honestly, as well as get all the information about the source of the funds received.
cannot provide us with information
information about the source of the funds
providing the requested data
All the information about the source of the funds received.  Like what?  In an investigation, what kind of information is requested as proof of origin?  You are being too vague.

I will provide you a hypothetical scenario.  I send 0.5 BTC to your Exchange address.  My 0.5 BTC were obtained from Bisq, but I have long since uninstalled Bisq so I have no screenshots or recorded proof of origin.  The transaction before mine was a hit man payment.  You have evidence of this, I have no idea about it.  What exactly would Fixed Float request me to provide as proof of origin?

If the user has nothing to do with the crime and did not know that the funds he received were criminal, then we have no reason to withhold these funds.
So if tomorrow all your customers deposit Coins from illegal sources they did not know about, you are perfectly fine with your company exchanging funds with criminal origin?

If LoyceV receives Bitcoin from a criminal origin, proves to be innocent and forwards the amount to me.  Exchanging funds with criminal history on Fixed Float is now fine?

Of course, we will not publish the blocking list, since we do not cooperate with cryptocurrency scammers and thieves,
Why not publish it?  I want to know who on the Blockchain is a known confirmed criminal with strong evidence so I can avoid them.  How else do you want me to have Bitcoin earned from legitimate origins if I do not even know who are the illegitimates first of all?

Different proofs are required for each case, depending on each case

The Bisq example is not entirely correct, but in the mentioned case, in the absence of evidence from the sender, we will act on the instructions of the law enforcement agencies investigating this case. You should not delete evidence of receiving funds from any services, as this may become a problem for confirming the source of funds.

The publication of our blocklist will provide information to criminals that their crime is known, and will help in their laundering. We will not assist criminals in any way. Honest users will be able to provide the necessary data if they have deleted this data purposefully.
