I was unclear here.  The passage RAM cited is concerned in general about 
whether a person has a hezkat kashrut.  The passage I cited deals 
specifically with when a person's self interest invalidates his hezkat 
kashrut.

I wonder, however, whether the AhSH would still deem his solution (a 
letter from a local rabbi) adequate if he had read in his newspaper 
about local rabbis being arrested after being accused of money laundering.
