You are right about many things. But ask yourself the following question. Would B&R have to be closed if Stephen Burke had nothing to do with prostitution, just found out about it and is eliminating the prostitution problem on campus?
In my opinion, B&R's presence would then not be at risk because the officials would have acted. The system would have worked.
It's the opposite side of the coin, but the coin remains the same. Will it be the B&R shutdown after finding and presenting evidence of Stephen's involvement into the prostitution ring, his "business" with Quinn, her own drug dealing activities or it will be a fake "investigation" forced and started by Stephen himself to save his ass and confuse the facts. Despite of how it's done it will cross out and put an end to history of almost all frats and sisterhood on campus. And I doubt that it's that kind of story our MC is telling us from the future.
Sometimes evil can slip off and avoid punishment or responsibility. Sometimes it's you who have to make such tough choice, like a choice between letting evil slip off or punish it but also ruin everything around - a lot of lives and destines, future and potential fun.
Why do you think MC and a lot of other characters don't run to the police or the feds, knowing that some girls sell themselves for $, that not only weed are being used on campus (even if it were only weed!), etc. MC mentioned police only once - when he was directly threatened with a gun, but was calmed down in seconds.
At the age and a period of life the game is about, it's quite plausible to act in a such way. You'd better shut up and have fun instead of running to police after every illegal activity you see or know about to ruin everything, become a snitch, etc. Even fights are hushing up and resolving without involving the authorities and other shit. All DIK's, HOT's, Alphas, dormies, etc are all tied and smeared in the same shit. And until nobody died or got seriously injured, it's probably will be "ok".
People's consciousness and attitudes towards such things change as they grow up and change their environment and lifestyle from college and fun to family, children and work. When such things stop being enjoyable or become dangerous or annoying.
Subtle hints ? We have moved past this stage

I meant the whole thing like not showing the player how it happened exactly. And even this is subtle, since he said "I hooked up with Riona" and not "I bought a sex from Riona".
In EP4 we then have Derek asking the MC whether he should try it with Camila or not. At this point I'm already asking myself the question you ask yourself in EP9, because Camila could be a prostitute. The problem with my reasoning is that if the MC accepted the restaurant offer from Quinn, the MC knows that Camilla is a prostitute, if the MC rejected the restaurant offer, the MC cannot know that Camila is a prostitute, only that assume. I also wonder if the MC has the right to decide what he wants for Derek. What if Derek has no problem having a prostitute as a girlfriend. That's why my MC Derek makes it clear in EP3 that if he wants to go after Camila, he should do it.
MC knows about Camila and have it in mind when he tries to "warn" Maya about Quinn:
my "She said that she might have an offer for me, if I passed the initiation..."
my "...but not what for."
mc "(Not...like she's using Camila...right?)"
mc "Don't trust Quinn, Maya."
my "What?"
mc "She's evil!"
my "Evil? Come on, she's just a bit...rough around the edges."
mc "Nope. EVIL. I know what she does with her girls."
mc "She uses them to earn money."
my "Uses them how?"
mc "
Just...don't trust her, Maya. Please!"
MC is quite aware of what is going on and have a clue who is in Quinn's restaurant. The reasons why he haven't told Maya all the truth I mentioned above.
We often judge characters and their actions incorrectly or without taking into account where we are at the moment and at what stage of life we are at the moment. We forget how many stupid things we ourselves have done before, and that is why very specific reviews of this game in the spirit of the relentless "lawyer" periodically slip through:
Ah! Maya grinded our MC w/o asking the permission! - GUILTY! TO JAIL! (99% of you would like or even beg god for something like this to happen and wouldn't ever mind if it does);
Ah! that bitch RAPED MC! (Quinn at CUM-petition) - GUILTY! TO JAIL! (same shit);
Oh! That bad boy punched me in the face or beat my ass! Call the cops! Make charges and put him into jail!
They smoke weed like that?! Nobody reported? An organized criminal group. Mutual responsibility, everyone is guilty, punish everyone, close everything down (fucking snitch cunt if ran away and reported your buds);
Girls sell themselves? Pimp?! Nuclear strike there, immediately! (wow! the world's oldest profession in action, while nobody minds against the same things happening in social networks, instagramm and so on).
