Hidden ones, at least...

There is also something called Viaticals...Basically, somebody is terminally ill, they have a life insurance policy and want to cash out. So, an investor buys a, let's say 500,000 life insurance policy for 350,000 (they give the owner/beneficiary the cash), and the policy is then signed over to them. When the person passes away, they collect. If you want more info, let me know

interesting, tell me more

I don't think payday loans are shady...they're just targeting a specific market. I do think that those sales-pyramid look-alikes (don't want to mention brands but there's a ton out there), make a few people a ton of money and a whole lot of people get ripped off...they should be outlawed!!!

But, if you're a wheeler and dealer and you can sell people things they don't need, you can make a lot of money!! Some companies even offer their "top sellers" (I say top of the pyramid) luxury cars while they maintain their top-level status.

BV you just named THE biggest of the bunch. Everything and everybody else is just an amateur.

The government has to be number one. Who else can take over half of my money (when you include fed, state, and sales taxes plus fees for licenses etc.) and give me NO choice but to hand it over to them. And then not answer to me about what they do with it. lol

What else makes mad money, but is in the gray area of legality or at least shady?

loan sharking is a profitable businesss!

Make a list of ethnic groups(*) that are extremely hated then see which business areas they dominate.

(*)Does not apply to African Americans.

It's not that I believe that discussions on business ethics in our industry is a bad thing. But I do find it ironic that we attempt to label businesses as morally or ethically wrong when we work in an industry where we have to fight powerful religous groups (at least here in the US) who try to eradicate our industry based on the same premise.
