So in the name of higher valuations we should accept criminal money? Interesting thought.

  Nobody said that.

  Oddly enough, it is immoral but not illegal/criminal money.

  >criminal money First of all, it's Silicon Valley. Check your ethics at the door. Secondly, it's not illegal if it's not against the laws of a country (and in this case, if the crown prince of a monarchy orders something, that's as close to legal as it gets). You could say that it's immoral, but that's a different statement, and you shouldn't conflate "illegal" with "immoral".

    >First of all, it's Silicon Valley. Check your ethics at the door. Flip or not, this is gross. Calling a murder not a crime because a king decreed it is mind boggling. You shouldnt conflate "illegal" with "criminal".

      If a king decrees it inside an absolute monarchy, it's not a crime. That's literally how absolute monarchies work--the monarch has absolute and unaccountable power. Edit: if you disagree, please tell me why.

        I disagree because positivism is not the smartest legal theory in my view. We all know Godwin's law, but nazi crimes is probably the best example of how something done by people with absolute power was considered and persecuted as a crime.
