Good for those who made the money. I would have done so had I had such insider info, as long as it didn't compromise any operation.

Do you not think that that would have a negative impact on the world? or do you not care, or is this "the world is going to hell so I may as well get mine"?
It's an unregulated world of gambling. Like trading DogeCoin. If you had insider knowledge, it was/is legal to trade there as you want.
Ah okay, so it's a case of "it's legal so it's fine", and impact or principles don't come into it.
Um, yes. If I were certain of a price movement before others, I'd take advantage, and so would you. But you can virtue signal with fake empathy if you'd like.
As long as the hordes of losers are not bothered by it enough to ask for fairness in the business, you’re right. Ethics and morals are constructs with the intention of creating a better, more just common existence. If the people in this common existence don’t care, then there is no reason for them not to do it.
