My anecdotal bullshit assumption is that it is probably pretty hard/near impossible to get IRS knocking on your door for non-KYC bitrefill. Though if I wanted to be really paranoid about it I'd stay away from linking anything to apple or google pay and prefer gift cards that can be used in person at a physical retail store.
In my experience rejecting coinjoined deposits is not really something exchanges can truly enforce. They say that for compliance reasons but in reality one or two regular transactions after a coinjoin will mark the coins "clean".
Sweden's laws in regards to public information are actually unhinged. It may not have been that big of a deal in the past before internet but it clearly is a big safety concern nowadays.
The thing is that the information is not behind ANY wall. There are multiple swedish sites where you can search a person by their name and it will instantly give you their address, DOB, how long they have lived at current address, who they live with, their siblings etc. Tax information is also public so it is easy for criminals to check your income in the past few years and determine if you are a worthy target.
- Downloaded the original bitcoin client and started solo mining. Looked up that with my hash rate it would take a month or two to mine a block (reward was 50btc at the time) so I just closed the client and forgot about bitcoin for a while. Didn't know about mining pools until 2013. But at least I did get 0.05 BTC from that one site that gave them away for free somewhere around 2011-2012 😁
Probably the easiest and most hassle free way for me has been with https://exch.cx/. The swaps are near instant but it is still a custodial service so be aware of that. They also support TOR if you care for additional privacy.

Neither Ross or the guy selling drugs on street corner deserve anywhere near the sentence that he got.
