> This idea that it's "virtually no way to avoid tainted money" is pretty cynical and self serving, IMO. Perhaps the real intention behind that idea is more like: "you can avoid tainted money but that money may go straight to your less scrupulous competitors". If you don't take the money, someone else will, and they may use it to beat you. To people whose primary focus is the growth of their own business, that could be a big cost for upholding their own sense of moral justice.
