proxy reverse investigation

I would like to buy some residential proxies because having an ip address that doesn't resolve to data center makes life so much easier.

I like to analyze all consequences of an action before taking that action, sometimes to the point of paralysis by analysis.

these proxies are shared. even if the seller says they are dedicated to me, I don't believe it. I am going to assume its shared.

so let's say I get a proxy with ip address 12.93.19.24 (just making up numbers here)
let's say 12.93.19.24 is being used by some other user for nefarious purposes

authorities are trying to figure out who 12.93.19.24 belongs to. they have been trying to years with no success.

let's say I use this proxy to make a blog comments somewhere to backlink to my website

so authorties will know this ip address was used to leave a blog comment that links to my website. therefore, this ip address belongs to the owner of the website. who is the owner of the website? me. now I will get arrested for something that someone else did with that proxy.

does this make sense or am I being crazy?

residential proxies are not sticky in nature, it does several rotation all day, so you will not face any issue in legal cases.

sticky or not makes no difference in my argument

I'm not an expert but don't think authorities track criminals on IP alone. IP alone doesn’t prove anything, it just points back to the ISP or proxy network, not directly to you. If an IP is dirty, the worst you’ll face is captchas/blocks, not legal trouble. For SEO/blog use, you’re fine.

Rankings aren’t based on one thing, it’s a ton of signals, and we don’t know what Google weights. So no, one IP won’t change much. They’ll still look at fingerprints + other signals. And if it was that easy, competitors could wreck each other with “similar IP” spam which clearly doesn’t happen at scale.
