Moving money for ruthless violent people is profitable if done right, but value destroying for society.

Value, whether measured in safety, shelter, nourishment, entertainment, ownership, infrastructure, sense of belonging or whatever you wish, is best built when you can trust the people around you and thus focus your efforts on what is valuable rather than trying to prevent being hurt or robbed.

Note that above I didn’t count money as valuable, since it isn’t intrinsically.
