The motivation was greed and the means were treacherous. If someone was helped along the way, great, but don’t be naive enough to think that there is any altruism. Saying that all people matter just as much as any other is an absurd platitude. In some abstract sense, maybe, but your obligations to your family, friends and community obviously supersede any obligations to some hypothetical person with whom you share no relation. Moreover every society of earth maintains this preemption and considers this attitude to be immoral.
