You may get a more useful response if you elaborate on "things".  ;)

I'd recommend staying as far away from that as possible.  If you don't
know why he wants to remain anonymous, you may as well assume the worst,
at least that's what I'd do.  How do you know this guy's not a wanted
criminal?  You don't.  If you're working in the realm of legitimate
business, you don't want to get involved.

Even if this person has a legitimate reason for remaining anonymous,
there's no accountability there.  Individuals need to be (or at least
should be) held accountable for what they do.
