Great, now we're defending embezzlement and fraud with public funds on HN, because we really really hate big business.
A child caught doing something bad will cry "but my friends also did it!", is that the level of reasoning hackers want to be at?
That seems like a bad faith read to me. Nobody is defending it, just pointing out the irony / hypocrisy. Two things can be bad, and they can be related.
You'd be surprised to hear then that I'm not the owner of any big company which embezzles tax payer money, and have never been involved in such.
I don’t follow how that makes sense as a response to what I said?

There are no hackers around here anymore. HN is mainly about business nowadays
HN has always discussed business
What part of that said "defense?"
They can both be bad.
> Great, now we're defending embezzlement
I might be missing something, but I don’t see anyone defending the the scams.
