Is it in your own best interest to "[c]ut a few corners, misrepresent a few things and as long as you stay out of jail and you make a bunch of money"? These may work short-term, but long-term you are driving away your customer base, friends, whatever and building a reputation that keeps other prospects away. I would argue that these things are not in one's own best interest...but some people fail to see that.
