A trade where a complete stranger gives you the private keys of 9 addresses and you should be happy because you have old coins.
What could go wrong here?
It makes sense to avoid taxes in this way, but there are probably other ways, at the same time with a much lower risk, while not sharing private keys with anyone.

What could go wrong is that someone else has already used those addresses to sign the message as evidence in a tax return - and given that a very large number of countries exchange financial data, it is possible that these things will be found among that data. Besides, those private keys won't mean anything if you can't prove that your BTC were ever at those addresses. Maybe in some countries something like that could work, but it seems to me that I would do more harm than good to try something like this.
There is no doubt that there are other ways, and they are completely legal if you understand the laws or have a good financial advisor. I heard it mentioned that foreign companies operating within the EU avoided paying around 100 000 billion euros (I think last year) in taxes using various tricks and loopholes.
