That's called double billing and is considered unethical [0]:

> In law, double billing refers to charging an hourly rate to two clients for the same time spent working. The American Bar Association prohibits double billing. It is tantamount to overcharging, since the amount of time actually spent working on any one client's work is less than the amount billed to that client.

For lawyers, by the Bar Association... What does that have to do with tech?
If you can charge the amount lawyers charge per hour then it's definitely unethical.
Double the rates, work half the time for each client :)
