I feel like there is a subtle psychological effect too. Even if everything is completely above board, when reports show repeated mentions of inquiries or connections to politically sensitive deals, it plants a seed of caution. People want to avoid headaches or unwanted media attention, and that caution can slow down deals, partnerships, and investor interest. It’s almost like a social due diligence that runs parallel to the legal one. No one is claiming guilt, but the human instinct is to take a closer look before committing.
