If they can pass rigourous security checks for current activities and affiliations, can demonstrate that their attitude is now a bit more mature etc.. and they can fulfill a useful role because of their technical skills, will fit in to and work with the rest of the team etc,. why not? We have plenty of ex-poachers turned game keepers that don't go bad again. And plenty of disaffected employees who had clean records but take secrets with them when they leave, sell to competitors, get revenge on the asshole company that just got rid of them etc.
