Attempting to speak for the rest of the group: You sound like the Wells Fargo CEO, who was criticized for using the term 'unethical' for actions that were clearly 'illegal'. That is, he used words for clearly illegal actions that somehow implied that maybe it was ok, maybe not, depending on how you look at it. You did the same thing - took fraudulent actions, admitted that maybe it wasn't the best thing ('shady'), then started talking about what a great company it was and how you are glad it exists. That is definitely underplaying the situation.
