Case law is split on this, its not a "myth" its just a gray area of the law.

(from google) Supreme Court precedent:
In the 1915 case Burdick v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled that accepting a pardon is "an admission of guilt". This precedent has been cited in arguments that accepting a pardon implies guilt.

Other cases have different conclusions.

I think i can honestly still call these criminals out as guilty regardless.
