Clearly there are people who will do anything for money.
In the classic movie, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” the characters all lie, cheat, steal and kill as they chase after a chache of government gold. They all kill, they all try to kill each other and the only character trait they all share isthey will all do anything for money.
