I heard of a guy who went to prison because he bought something from Allegro (Polish Amazon) over TOR. Someone used the same exit node for hacking, so they pinned it on him.

What country? Sounds like a kangaroo court or a court staffed entirely by old people.

court staffed entirely by old people

Isn't that most courts?

Poland.

He could've easily got it solved but he didn't have money and the public defender just told him confessing was the best option.

It might be a legend, it's just a thing that supposedly happened to someone in a community I participate in.

I thought the point of Tor was the anonymity?

Your anonymity goes out the window when you log in to any service. Your privacy goes when you give them your shipping information.

Actual legal risks and consequences don't go away by applying wishful thinking.
