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?

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.
