I hate to be cynical, but it's a bit rich to keep cashing the checks for five entire years and then having some come-to-Jesus moment. Did the change of heart go alongside some new boss who didn't like the work product? Or perhaps a plan to just move?
It's easy to dis something on the way out the door.

I don't think the cynicism is warranted. In fact, it takes a fair amount of introspection then courage to put your name on an article saying you spent so much time doing something you now find morally repugnant. The easy path is to either (a) not ever recognize you were taking advantage of poor people or (b) sweep it under the rug and go on with your life.
