That is a textbook hypocrisy: That which he decries, he did.
Someone with integrity does not play that game. There are many successful businessmen who did not and will not.
So, again, that is a lack of integrity.
LOL....you’re just so full of it!
Oh, BS. Everyone in business has to play some games with "the man" or you don't survive the regulatory nightmare that affects even a 10-year old's lemonade stand - speaking of which, do you consider the child who runs an illegal lemonade operation crony capitalist and her mother a hypocrite. What about public health. What about fairness to those who pay their licensing fees.
Under your definition, breathing is hypocrisy, and even worse in your book is the hypocrisy of seeking to reform a corrupt system so that one can breath unhypocritically while continuing to breath, hypocritically.
