I asked and was told that it's okay so no, I don't think it is.
Good, at the end of the day, everyone should ask a posek. What we are discussing here is if it is ethical. That means if it is a kiyum of the pasuk "Veasisa hayashar vehatov" not just avoiding an issur of "Lo sigzol". We have Halacha, Shuras HaDin, and we have lifnim mishuras hadin.
Another salient issue here, as was mentioned, is the potential for Kidush Hashem or ChvSh Chillul Hashem. Every Frum Yid must always bear in mind the possible outcome of publicity of his dealings. For me, an incident in C-Town a few years ago really had a big impression on me. (Dan, you heard about this?) I was planning on investing with some people there. They had a good business plan and lawyers went over the contracts and said it was sound. In the end, the gov. went after them and filed a big indictment against them. After reading through the entire thing and being aware of the setup, the idea I got was that they did nothing illegal, or barely nothing, for sure nothing significant. They built up a whole case against them painting the whole business as a scam. B'kitzur, anything we do can be later distorted so we should try to be as clean as possible and not get seduced by short term gain with possible risk in the long term.
We have a responsibility to the Klal.
