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.
Actual legal risks and consequences don’t go away by applying wishful thinking.
What country? Sounds like a kangaroo court or a court staffed entirely by old people.

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.

I thought the point of Tor was the anonymity?
It provides anonymity in much the same sense as going into the bank while wearing a skimask does. Every form of anonymity service always puts you in close range to be grabbed by the authorities, as while your traffic might be anonymized, the fact that you are running the service is not.
Your anonymity goes out the window when you log in to any service. Your privacy goes when you give them your shipping information.
