He's not being open and honest about anything here. He's a liar. He lied to his partners, he lied to his investors, he lied to his employees, he lied to his customers, he lied to the IRS, and he lied to the press. Every single item on his list here is the result of him stretching the truth and calling it "hacks".
That's fun new word for "lies".

I mean, he's speaking openly about his morals here. Which is undoubtedly a good thing.
Obviously, he's a liar to his business partners, his customers, and his employees. But right now, he isn't a liar to us quite yet.

And it should be noted, that based on the replies here and the feedback, it sounds like he might not be a liar anymore. Hopefully he's seeing the issues that his employees have to put up with when he puts them into this kind of situation.
So he has gained some personal growth from this event. All's well in the long run, but its difficult to make up for broken trust.
But if I ever learned that a business partner were so dishonest with me, I'd drop them in a heartbeat. Business relations are all about trust and integrity.
