Fair enough sh - I take your point and I do have a certain admiration for anyone who conscientiously always does the 'right thing' as dictated by the authorities although, personally, I can't help viewing that outlook, to some extent, as somewhat naive. I would tend to do what I thought was best for me and mine in any given situation no matter what the authorities' view of it. My view is that the people in authority generally rely on the masses to tow the line in every respect and yet, it seems to me that, those who hold or seek such positions, in the main, tend to be the most corrupt and self-serving of individuals - with some exceptions of course. Similarly, the greed of conglomerates as well as the wealthiest members of society, in any country, seems to know no bounds and they appear to have little or no conscience where accumulation of money/wealth is concerned.
I don't doubt and don't think any the worse of him for it, that Neil Lennon or indeed those who played for the dead club, saw what they were doing as being a way of increasing their income and 'fair game' in life. As Dev's personal example points out, however, they can't and shouldn't complain if/when they get caught out and the schemes or anything else in which they are involved end up being 'outlawed' or whatever, resulting in them having to pay a heavy price for taking the risk - that is also part of life's equation which they should and will have to accept.
