interest accrued on otherwise nefarious activity.
esoteric philosophical questions : if the base money that accrues interest is of 'immoral' origin, is the interest still 'immoral'? Is the act of saving money an action that has a base 'moral' precept? If it's a positive action, does that make the interest less 'immoral' than the money used to make it? What if the interest feeds a 'moral' charity?
Just stuff I think about with regards to finance, not that morality matters much practically in the real world.

- jacques_chester 7y agoThere are extensive bodies of law that deal with these topics, especially in Trusts law. Happily I quit law school before getting any good at them.
