You're right but at the same time, there's a quote that states this better than me, it went something like "If you see corruption and don't speak up, you're part of the problem" and I heavily agree with that.
And that guy, oh boy.
Biggest phony the world may have ever seen. 

 Ah, fair enough.

I see where you're coming from 

 Who, Nassim Nicholas Taleb? Yeah, that was one of his many "pot meets kettle" moments 

 The quote is possibly his, yeah. At least Taleb did deliver quite a bit of value in the past though :) Maybe he still does but I haven't paid attention to his newer work, if any.
