The only term I know for someone who will break the law to make a buck is a criminal. A criminal can break into a house and fence the stolen goods, that doesn't make him a capitalist.

A crime is based on the given morality of the current culture.
Slavery was once lawful, which didn't make it right. Many people used slaves to do jobs 'that Americans wouldn't do' [sorry to use the wrongful cliche]. Crime at that point in time was to give quarters to an escaping slave, but I'm quite sure that wouldn't be a crime or mentality of current standards. Most be find slavery sickening.
That was the line of thinking I was going through when writing that. Standards change with time,...but there's many people that have act like capitalists, but were/are really thieves underneath...they've done more to unsettle and discredit liberty than any other.
