Perhaps I am too naive but what is wrong with accepting a donation from a person you didn't know was a criminal?

Nothing. But that is certainly, provably not the situation here.
It sounds like you haven't read the article, which is about covering up donations from someone you knew was a disqualified donor because he was a pedophile, because your own staff kept telling you he was and that you should stop talking to him.
And also apparently personally profited from it.
He didn't do a basic Google search to find all the articles about his conviction for child molestation and solicitation?
