Maybe the guy can be chided for being stupid or for gambling. But for being morally bankrupt? I'm not sure about that one.
Here's a hypothetical: suppose you wake up tomorrow as a teenager in 1997, and have the ability to invest $30,000 in Google. Of course, you don't have the money for it, and your parents refuse to believe you. Would you steal it from your parents anyway, knowing that once you've made your money back, they will be taken care of? I would do it in a heartbeat.

So whether you can describe this as "morally bankrupt" really needs to be taken in the context of his age at the time.
