I assume you can’t go to real court over something like this.

    No, you can’t go to real court. You’re actually kinda getting at something more serious: This is true for all crimes. Especially also drug crimes. That is why the prohibition of drugs causes violent crime: the only way to enforce contracts over illegal drugs is through violence.

      I think US tax department explicitly states that you must state any income you obtained through illegal means in your tax returns.

        Is the implication here that if you don’t state it then you owe back tax on illegal gains when they catch you?
