Halachic question regarding the source of funds
Person “A” gave person “B” a loan without interest or linkage.
Person “B” wants to repay part of the loan to person “A” through person “C” who owes person “B” money.
The problem is that person “A” knows that the source of the financial obligation between person “C” and person “B” is not kosher, i.e. person “C” owes person “B” money because of a service that person “B” provided to person “C”. The service, for this purpose, is an infringement of intellectual property, for this purpose the sale of a copied book.
Is person “A” allowed to receive the money directly from person “C”?
If he has already received it, what should he do?

Thank you.
Not such a raid that is permissible, if it was known to person “A” that the bills he received from person “C” were actually stolen, would it also be permissible?
The difference here is that the money itself is not stolen, it is only the obligation for the supposedly “stolen” money, and in addition I can actually color the obligation for the stolen value that person “A” received.
