disease Cucumber Mosaic Virus or natural variegation?

Alright so I've been looking at this pepper for a while, since it popped it's had this variegation and I always thought it was natural. However, I just learned about CMV and it looks fairly similar. Before I kill this plant and cry about my loss, can I have the opinion of someone more experienced than me? 
I bought the seeds off of whitehotpeppers.com and the variety was a Goat's Weed cross and I know that variety can have weird colored leaves so I didn't think it was due to a virus. None of my other plants are showing signs of this, and they were all started inside, along side of eachother, same watering can, etc etc. Which means the virus came from the seed? However most sources say that the virus cannot be transmitted through seed.

i think it looks pretty happy
 
Thanks! It's otherwise healthy, and it isn't stunted but aesthetically it is similar to the CMV.

I've seen something similar from mites, but that plant looks fine.
 
Glad. I did have a bit of a mite problem however this plant has had this variegation since it popped cotyledons. 
Thanks
