Since the latter two issues are not transparent, trust and character may be relevant.

Trust and character are always relevant. And yes, doing anything unethical or fraudulent is bad. I think we might know of the same person that is interested in those things in the hobby. I tell him everything I know, all of the time. I saw him last week and speak with him fairly frequently. If anyone is doing bad stuff in the hobby I am almost the last person they want to be associated with.
