Rabbis, and public figures must be especially careful not to violate laws to maintain the trust of the public. It is sad that some are attracted to money at the risk of being exposed as a fraud. It is a Hillul-Hashem.

kasher, moiser is mutar in certain circumstances, it is dangerous to imply what you are implying i.e. that moiser is always wrong, in child abuse cases, in abuse of women and possibly in this case where the actions of the individual concerned are a danger to the tzibbur then it is muttar

Not to condone any illegalities, but I’m not envious of the gehinom in store for the moiser.
There are many stories of yidden that went to jail (for small/ miinor) issues because they wouldn’t give up the “big fish”
