After spending over five years moving through Latin America and Africa, I have a slightly different view of the "developed world" than most who live in it.

I personally think what the scammers are doing is no more morally corrupt than Nike paying workers fifty cents an hour to make a pair of shoes for $2 than they sell for $400, or health insurance companies denying coverage to people literally dying in the name of profits.

All of the above (and scammers) are extremely morally corrupt and "wrong", the only difference is some of them have been normalized.
