> Probably the best reading of "..." nowadays is "and making money is bad, so" or "and this made somebody higher-class than them sad, so". My understanding of the university admissions scandal was that the parents were defrauding the university by bribing the admissions staff to lie to the university about how good the candidates were. It would have been legal if they had instead been honest with the university and paid however much extra was needed to convince them to accept their children. But that would have cost them more than bribing individual staff. So I don't think that example fits your mould.
