As per my response to your post, I think you're mistaking lack of principles for brilliance. Both of those things are effective, and both can produce results that surprise the principled man, but only one of them is worthy of admiration and this ain't it.
After all, there are doctors out there who make far more money than you ever will, either because (to quote Tom Lehrer) they've chosen to specialise in 'diseases of the rich', or because they're outright crooked. (From what Google tells me, a 100-tablet bottle of oxycontin costs around $400 with a prescription and sells for 5-10x that on the street.) Does that make them worthy of congratulation?
