Indeed the reverse applies "You've written the article, as agreed, now whistle for your money!" would be an unethical position for the client to take.This page is linked in a Newser article: Wikipedia Just Busted Gang of 'Black Hat' Editors, [1] Washingon Post also covered it: Wikipedia sting snares hundreds of accounts used for paid editing [2]
