I'm pleased for success which is built on providing real value to real people.
I'm not pleased at, say, Bernie Madoff's success. (Over 15 highly successful years in business, and only one unsuccessful one!) IMHO, he wasn't providing real value to people and his apparent success was only due to fraudulent accounting. According to Wikipedia, Madoff's brother invested $32,000 and received profits of $16 million - an impressive rate of return. Am I a nattering nabob of negativity for poo-pooing this "success"?
I believe Groupon is in the Madoff category, or close to it...
