However over the years, I did find good people who made it. In my experience, you can be a good decent person and become wealthy and successful, but even more importantly, when you adopt this style, you make friends along the way.
The people that I know that have been predatory yet successful have found themselves alone at the top. As you get older, you realize that all the money in the world isn't worth sacrificing good relationships with good people.
In many ways, one is heaven and the other hell.
