It's the Russian Oligarchs, or the Ferengi of Deep Space Nine - same thing.

Rule 80:
If it works, sell it,
If it works well, sell it for more,
If it doesn't work, quadruple the price and sell it as an antique.

Rule 26:
The vast Majority of the rich in this galaxy did not inherit their wealth; they stole it.

Rule 87:
Trust is the biggest liability of all.

Rule 115:

Rule 125:
A lie isn't a lie, until someone else knows the truth.

Rule 131:

If it gets you profit, sell your own mother.

Rule 132:
