Not really something to be held up as an example of success. Not everyone can do that, or it wouldn't work. Plus there are people who could use that free stuff that he's essentially stealing from. Just goes to show that this guy has no ethics.

    Honestly, I would argue at least a portion of those items would get thrown away if he hadn't gotten them. When someone wants something gone, and when a different person wants to acquire that particular thing don't always align. It's tweaker arbitrage, but it's not that big a deal IMHO.

    The real moral failing from my perspective is not recognizing how much help he got, and how 'lucky' he was.
