50. What do you call an organization, some of whose principals committed crimes?

Hint, not "criminal organization".

What is more obnoxious than that is calling every member of that organization complicit in those crimes.

What is worse than the sheer obnoxiousness of it is that it's flat out wrong.

What is worse than being flat out wrong is that you're actually taking actions based on those demonstrably wrong ideas.
