A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A person who receives stolen goods, also known as a fence. The term "intaker" is historically used to refer to a fence.

For example, in criminal law, a fence is someone who buys stolen goods from a thief and then sells them to others. The fence usually pretends not to know that the goods are stolen, but they make a profit by selling them at a higher price than they paid the thief. The business of fencing stolen goods requires the fence to keep up a respectable front to avoid suspicion.

Another example of the term "fence" is a place where stolen goods are sold. This can be a physical location or an online marketplace where thieves can sell their stolen goods to fences.

In Scots law, the term "fence" can also refer to a formal warning not to interrupt or obstruct judicial or legislative proceedings, or a penalty of forfeiture prescribed in a statute or contract.

Overall, the term "intaker" or "fence" refers to someone who profits from the sale of stolen goods, either by buying them from thieves or selling them to others.
