For the last time, I will not be exposing this guy. As I have said, I feel it would be unethical, and unfair to him. I can't just record my conversation with someone, keep his name on it, and post it for the world to see.
I would also like to make a bit of a revision... This guy is not as bad as I thought. We have been talking a bit more. In essence, he primarily just wanted to educate me on a way to make more money. He does not do it himself, and was put out of business at his last gig by someone who shaved.
However, he does think some shaving is a good business practice. He also thinks that the profits everyone gets out-weighs the dishonestly. I still disagree with him. I am very much worried, because this kind of position is the most insidious kind of bad morals. He basically thinks he can judge for himself whether screwing someone is better for them or not, encouraged along by it being better for him.
So, this guy is not a total scuzzbag. I doubt he will rip you off if you work with his host. However, he does have serious moral issues. I study Philosophy by the way, so Ethics is something I have taken courses in... the logic of Ethics, that is. This does not make me an expert, but at least I have experience. More importantly, though, I try to be a decent guy... that counts a lot more for some class!
In the end, I think morals are a deeply personal. This guy needs to work his out on his own. However, I hope our reaction to his position will help him realize that you need to put doing the right thing ahead of making a little more money.
