I have not met many people who wouldn't compromise their ethics for some benefit. This is especially true if they think nobody will find out. So I am not sure there are fundamental ethical values.

Also, the tendency to do so depends on your financial status. Poor people will happily sell thei ethics, those who are more well off don't have to.

I've usually seen the opposite.

I'd argue that the opposite is more common. People who are well off can often feel that they are entitled to things.

The situation we're discussing involves wealthy folk doing unethical things.
