  Comments:
only 新和英中辞典 hints at it being "(shady)". prog's example 
seems quite neutral: "彼にはいい金脈がある  He has a good patron 
[financial backer]."
_
eij has "不正金脈の嫌疑 suspicion of shady financial dealings" 
but they specifically add "不正" in front.
also "... 田中角栄の金脈問題 ... ... Tanaka's financial 
connections ..."
but again, 問題 added
