The problem is not conflict of interest editing... It is not even a philosophical debate of Paid editing Vs Volunteer editing... The problem is getting paid to white wash "negative materials" in favor of the clients, which eventually render Wikipedia articles biased and information suppressed... And if those people can get favors from the level of Admins, it is definitely wrong. What is more shocking is that if that if an account created possibly with a single purpose ( of protecting the interests of a business group) can manage to climb up the ladder of admin-ship of a "stronger" Wikipedia like en.wiki , it is definitely alarming !

+1. Continuing this discussion generally on these terms will be good. Otherwise, this will be an en wiki community issue and I don't find it relevant to be on Indian mailing list.
