Personal gain? He didn't pocket the money as far I know.
Ethics is also a touchy subject, people can't fully agree on whether taking a criminal's money to do good with it is ethical or not. So it's not as cut and dried.
He did however violate MIT policy so that's a valid reason for his resignation or even firing in my opinion.
