..anyways, I read that it was being considered and hadn't been refused outright so we'll see...

That is an oversimplification, in this instance we do know exactly where it came from and how.
This man exploited both people and resources, this is what is being considered, does the end justify the means?
If there is an expense to an ethical dilemma then that will have to be addressed if the situation is resolved to remove the image.
