Killing is killing, murder is murder.
Looking for a justification for murder seems to me to be a path which should best be avoided.
You might be prosecuted for receiving stolen goods. In fact, you might even be prosecuted for theft, yourself. Which would make you a thief, I guess.
It is not okay for you to murder anybody. What's wrong with you?
Yes, at least in the UK. Theft is the stealing of property in possession or control of another, irrespective of who actually owns it.
That is a matter of your own personal moral code. Society at large, and the laws of most (if not all) countries, however, would say that it is morally and legally wrong.
Yes. It isn't "his" money. It belongs to his victims.
No. No matter what you think he's done, he's entitled to a fair trial by the proper authorities. You can't just decide that somebody is a "drug lord" and appoint yourself judge, jury and executioner.
Nope. Not unless you have to do that to protect yourself or someone else from an imminent threat.

Hi,
1st question
What's the Worst That Could Happen? (2001)
Plot: Kevin Caffrey is a thief who enters Max Fairbanks' house, a billionaire. The rich man finds him and calls the police. While the swindler is arrested, Fairbanks declares the ring Kevin is wearing belongs to him and takes it off as well. Actually the ring is a "lucky charm", a gift Kevin has received from his girlfriend. The thief will do anything to take it back.
Actors: Martin Lawrence, Danny DeVito, John Leguizamo, Glenne Headly, Carmen Ejogo, Bernie Mac, Larry Miller, Nora Dunn, Richard Schiff, William Fichtner, ...
My favourite scene:
Kevin Caffery - Martin Lawrence
Uncle Jack - Bernie Mac
Uncle Jack: Of all the lousy, jerkological, cheap-shot stickups... this (has) gotta take the cake.
Kevin: You got that right.
Uncle Jack: Robbed by a householder... doing a robbery. Terrible, Kevin, terrible.
Kevin: You laughing at me?
Uncle Jack: Hell, yeah, I'm laughing. It's embarrassing. You should be ashamed of yourself.
2nd question

Plot: Bounty hunter Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro) is sent to find and return bail jumper and former Mafia accountant, Jonathan "The Duke" Mardukas (Charles Grodin). "The Duke" stole 15 millions drug money from the Mob and did charity with it. ...
