    I see no tragedy here, everybody who actually cares sees the mission of this company clearly, and they are pretty open about it, so accepting that juicy paycheck comes with some baggage. Just another societal leech making the world worse one step at a time. Same as some high tech banking positions, you accept morally dubious work and get compensated adequately. I dont see people here complaining when ie Goldman Sachs fires 10% of the workforce either, rather some childish schadenfreude is not uncommon. Look at it this way - maybe those brilliant people will grok the life lesson and tune down their greed a bit and try to make the world a bit better place instead. Or go on. In any case, hardly something to get agitated about (unless folks write about themselves but then all above still stands)
