    If you traded >8 key/1 bills value then yes you can get in trouble.

    No, however I would not get into the habit of trading repeatedly with him or any tagged player. As I said if he is a friend he would not want to put you in any risk at all right?

    Good, that is what friends do, look after each other.

    Trading with marked players (repeatedly and with prior knowledge that is can be an SR issue) can result in caution/scammer tag.

    In your case, trading some low value item almost certainly would not in my opinion, but as I say, it is best to simply not trade with any marked player friend or not. The simple fact that you post here and ask is a good sign that you care about such things.

    Correct
    SR will look into:
    - The worth traded being more then a Bills hat.
    - Any unusual hat.
    - Any Money transaction trades.

    SR won't look into it if its just items vs items total worth (from either party, not total of both sides) less then a bills.

    Now, I believe I have seen this answered elsewhere, but I forget. Lets say items of smaller value are traded/scammed multiple times over some span of time, and there is sufficient proof of the multiple trades/scams. I would assume that this would also be investigated, assuming the value was significant? I would certainly hope that an individual, being dedicated enough to scam small items over and over, would be ignored simply because the value of any individual trade was not not significant enough.

    HelenAngel personally told me it is hard to get in trouble for a legitimate trade with a marked player. HOWEVER, I do not suggest it as he could be selling stolen goods or buying with money he received from stolen goods. Its not worth getting potentially marked.

    You guys are missing the point. The reason for the tag for trading with scammers is there is to prevent people from profiting from scamming or helping scammers "wash" their stolen / scammed goods. If you are knowingly trading with a scammer and you know the item they are trading you is acquired from scamming purposes there is no value set to it.

    PS. Before I get flamed and told I am wrong about the above statement please read it THOROUGHLY!
