Not gonna lie. When I was younger, I would have taken the money too.
It's shameful, but such was the integrity (or lack of) I imagine I would have shown when weighing the payoff versus speaking out. Maybe I'm not giving myself enough credit. Tough to say though.

women weren't believed as readily vs. big sports stars then. plus damage to their rep either way. and just look at how some dumbass fans even now damage people's property over say a kicker missing a kick and his place gets trashed. guessing that there also may have been worse threats to them if they didn't take the $$. unfortunately integrity isn't always the top consideration when you are dealing with these types of very powerful people. but i do agree with you that aside from that,i'd not take $$.
In general? There have been plenty of people who were shitty enough that I shed no moments of sadness, beyond the requirements of my faith, at their passing. I do hold to a "This is not the time or place" philosophy as my guidepost when it comes to that stuff, so I'm not going to use a funeral service to shit on the memory of the deceased. I'll either not attend, or hold my tongue for another time.
In a forum setting? I appreciate the idea of leaving death threads clean because it avoids needless conflict over the deceased when some people may be saddened. I mean, if Biden and Trump both died on the same day, for a wild example, you could see forums destroyed overnight because of people shitting all over the death threads.
And, just to use O.J. for an example, it wouldn't really be a problem with a long-established forum. At some point, someone would have made a thread about the guy, and that could be necro'd, which would allow the people who wanted to shit all over the dead a place to do it without it shitting all over the actual thread. But we don't have that here, because we're a startup, so we don't really have that alternative right now.
