"The secret of a great success for which you are at a loss to account is a crime that has never been found out, because it was properly executed." Balzac

Or to put it more simply - "behind every great fortune lies a great crime"

You don't get to be a multi-millionaire/billionaire by being nice and following the rules. If we actually rewarded people for being a benefit to society then teachers, social workers, etc... would be the rich ones.
