I do agree, but if you're unscrupulous enough you can still get rich before such a business model eventually folds.

Unsustainable businesses can be profitable for generations. Particularly if the law doesn't force them to deal with the externalities. Coal mining seems like an appropriate example. It's doubly unsustainable; coal is finite and burning fossil fuels is fucking up the climate, but coal mining remains profitable.
