False advertisement is illegal.

Defrauding investors is illegal.

As a society we should punish lying, not reward it or glorify it.

There is corruption in politics, academia, institutions of all sorts, such as what led to the 2008 crisis, but our goal should be to make it harder. We should aim for less corruption.
