Kingsley's making the point I've been trying to make, Molly. Perhaps a little more strongly, but still: we use other people's corruption all the time. Every time I pay off an official or send in bicorn powder, we're crossing a moral line. But we're doing it in the cause of something good.
It's not casting an Unforgivable Curse, though. And I know it's not a justification, but the human traffic side of things will continue whether or not we profit (indirectly) from it. Without men like Sabola it'd be five times as hard to get flour, sugar, chocolate, even coffee into the country. And it'd be much, much harder to get anything more restricted in, as well.
