Not sure startups are seeing more scandals than other areas?
Also seems strange to point to start up culture i.e. When a sportsman is caught doping we don't attack the sport.
We see ethical issues in large companies e.g. Like VWs emission scandal ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_emissions_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_emissions_scandal ) or Wells Fargo opening phony accounts ( http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/08/investing/wells-fargo-created-phony-accounts-bank-fees/ http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/08/investing/wells-fargo-create... ). It is not hard to find stories of insider trading in banks, or corruption in oil and gas or mis-handling of private data. Arguably these larger abuses effect more peoples lives.
Unscrupulous people are a fact of life. I am not sure a solution really exists, and if it does it may well be worse than the problem.

Looking at the history of doping in cycling you see individuals doping, then look closer and you see teams at the centre of doping. So yes, culture needs to be questioned.
