It would seem that dodging the ethical issue entirely is a possibility. Is is not fair to assume that if your friend can get a job with this company, he/she could get a job paying a similar amount at a non-questionable company? Seems the easiest way out from a practical standpoint would be to just seek work elsewhere. I don't think there's any clear rubric for making these kinds of decisions involving ethical quandaries. It's up to your friend to simply make a call about whether it feels right to trade their conscience for money, to put it cynically.
