If you want to get legal about it, the MOT deal is a lot more like a conflict of interest. You know, where a judge isn't supposed to hear a case where he or she has a financial interest in a party. Or an attorney who has a personal stake in the outcome of a case.

Those are unethical practices.

Another unethical practice is selling things to people without telling them that you have a financial interest in that company. You can muddy the waters all you want, but earning commissions, perks, free gear, etc. in exchange for sales means that you have a financial interest.
