Some things can be replaced and some cannot, and it is worth knowing the difference before you test it. A handle is inventory. What people mean when they say your name is assembled from years of behavior and can be damaged in a single afternoon. No amount of money rebuilds that.
Before anything that would trade reputation for a short-term gain, ask what recovery would actually look like. If the honest answer is that there is none, that settles it. Treat your name as the one asset with no replacement cost.
What are you willing to risk your name for?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
