Most unethical behavior doesn't pay. Some unethical behavior is staggeringly profitable. I don't want to go into detail, because the less known these things are the better.
I think there are two main cases:
1) business models based on the exploitation of others, and
2) low margin businesses where ethical players get crushed by those willing to take unethical/illegal shortcuts.
Luckily you _can_ become successful even if you rigidly adhere to the highest ethical standards, you just have to choose your business model carefully.
