I disagree with paying back being obviously the right thing to do. The implications of “pulling back” money whenever something large shady appears would be difficult to handle, and it would be costly. (If you are arguing that the current case is special and in future cases of alleged / proven financial crime we should evaluate case by case then I am very interested in what the specific argument is.)
I would look into options for vetting integrity of big donors in the future as the right thing to do though.
