Your friend is spot on. Business is about making money, period.
The rest of the shit some concern themselves with is fodder. Being liked, respected, popular, loved, etc. and so on. Open a history book and look at how other colleagues of Rockefellar, Gates, Jobs, Kennedy, Trump, etc, etc. etc... characterized them in their time.
Many of them stole ideas from others, repackaged, and called it their own. They engaged in monopolistic or unethical practices. Sued competition into bankruptcy, among many countless other things. Some did other illegal activities (ex: rum running), much like you see going on with banks and Wall Street now. You can look at some of the leaders in our own adult industry and who's on top along with how they got there.
While there may be a few white hat's laying around, the vast majority of the successful were at some point in their life a villain, and hated by their contemporaries and rivals. It's only later in life or in time through history of achievements they were judged more kindly.
