Tova:
I don't think Roko has had that much of a turn-around in behaviour towards them. She knows that they are highly competent at their jobs, but still refers to them as "former criminals" (gray area or otherwise).

Thrillho:

Granted, the larger enterprise they were involved in was illegal, so it’s in a gray area. But I strongly suspect that the folder that Spookybot dropped in Roko’s lap contained enough evidence to convict Corpse Witch while clearing everyone else.

Is there not a crime there from being paid with the profits of an illegal enterprise?

Zebediah:
I’m not a lawyer, so take what I say with a grain of salt. But if there was such a law, it would probably be found unconstitutionally broad and vague. I mean, are you going to arrest the kid who cuts the mob boss’ lawn because he was paid with proceeds from crime? Where do you draw that line?

Undrneath:

Being paid by an illegal enterprise, not necessarily, being paid "under the table" and not paying taxes definitely is.

Is it cold in here?:
I don't understand money laundering law but it might apply to depositing illegally obtained money into a bank.  Faye probably didn't do that.
