This is nothing new. This has been Federal (EPA) law for a long, long time and shops that I know of have been popped for violating it.

Actually, the "ultimate purchaser" (that would be the vehicles owner) can remove ALL of the emissions equipment without fear of FEDERAL prosecution (besides the link above which only applies to those "in the business of" if you check section 203(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act you will see that it DOES NOT APPLY to the owner of the vehicle.
This is not to say you won't have your state EPA up your backside, but the FEDERALES are impotent as far as the owner or "ultimate purchaser".
Also, note that the aftermarket converters are EPA approved and legal in all 49 states that count. Sorry Californios, I saw the movie 2012 and you are SCREWED!
No, I would say it is a no-bet, and he can keep his dollar.
