I mean, if I'm allowed to just make up silly hypotheticals, I can easily justify anything.

Say I raise money for a friend to buy a house and they proceed to rent it out to meth dealers. The friend is the one on the hook for the loans, of course; but would I not be on the hook for at least a reputation hit such that I can't do that again? Or do we think folks can get away with that sort of poor judgement forever?

If you give the friend the money as a gift, you have nothing to do with it, right? if you give it to him as a loan to inflate his assets and don't disclose that then you are committing a Federal crime.

		I didn't give any money in that hypothetical. Rather, I convinced a lot of other people to give them the loan. That is, largely, exactly what fundraising is. You convince other people to give money to someone or something. If people are regularly doing this at my request, and it is constantly going to someone that just burns the money, how are people still taking my requests?
