To be fair, hardly anyone gets shunned from the hobby for a significant period of time.
Even the PWCC backlash (to pick one recent of many overall scandals) lasted all of a few months before people flocked to their personal site. They later made some bad business decisions and even still Fanatics decided they didn't care enough about any negativity to buy PWCC.
If any of the "bad guys" get something to sell after their scandal they tend to gain an audience no matter of their past. I can't think of anyone that didn't simply run away from the hobby that faced any significant backlash to continuing to be involved and they all seemed to do just fine financially...in the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, 20s...etc.
It's up to personal morals to decide whether you care to do business with someone or some company. The hobby on whole doesn't seem to care and it spans every generation as far as I've experienced. It's not like the old days where you need to read about it in hobby trade magazines or hear it through the grapevine...people make 10 dozen videos about it and there's 10 page threads on internet forums these days with instant feedback on the issue.
