Taking a donor's money is at most an implicit endorsement. If an active serial killer gave me a million dollars to make the world a better place, it would be wrong for me to refuse to move money from a bad actor to those in need.

Great strawman but I still disagree and it is not what is happening here, it is still an endorsement of crypto scams, and in the case for crypto, this only amplifies the adoption of ransomware, scams and sure bad actors because of the donation. It just makes it all worse.

I don't understand how what I said is a strawman. I think an active serial killer is orders of magnitude worse than any crypto scam, but I would still take their money- ie. I'm disagreeing with a stronger version of your point.
