"Although Mark never intentionally engaged in off-guideline tactics to game the search results, he had paid seos to build links, not aware of the negative consequences of that decision."

If Google had a $ for everytime they have heard that they wouldn't need adwords.

I hear you NFFC, but the field had been set by Google -- to rank sites did what worked until it didn't anymore.  The average startup would be dead in the water playing by the suggestions outlined by Google.  So, its a situation where they either break the rules and succeed for a while, or stay in park forever.
