Well Bob Lee (Former IBF President and Founder) did/is doing time for corruption connected to the organization, so yes they are kind of tainted..
They are all money making machines, with too much power and influence; and history tells us, time and again, what happens when human beings have too much power......
Didn't that have something to do with the Moorer vs. Axel Shultz fight

Although,Im sure its not an isolated incident

.
I believe it was a little later, the below comes from the pre trial evidence (undercover video).
Beavers is C Douglas Beavers the former long serving IBF Ratings Committee Chairman
'During the June 1997 meeting, Beavers and Lee discuss demanding $25,000 to move heavyweight Joe Hipp up to the No 6 contender slot, according to a sworn statement from an FBI agent.
In a tape from December 1997, Beavers is seen removing a package of $5,000 from his ankle and giving it to Lee, according the statement. Investigators say the money is a payoff from a promoter.
On October 21, 1998, Beavers takes money from his ankle and gives some to Lee and some to a former IBF official, Don Brennan, and Lee puts an envelope on a table and says it is "turkey" from "Fuzzy," the FBI said.
In court papers, Beavers said that "turkey" was a payoff and "Fuzzy" was King'
Don King was never prosecuted, and of course is totally innocent!
