Most of the replies to this post seem to misunderstand this saying. An otherwise ethical person might initially refuse to do a thing, but give in when the reward gets large enough. The saying basically claims that every person has a price point at which they throw their principles out the window for money. That's the sort of story I was expecting when I clicked this post.
