It's tasteless, considering they actually placed the flyers on the seats of attendees at an event of "X company". I think it may even be fair to argue they were directly sabotaging that event, in which case this wasn't only unethical but also legally questionable. Maybe as a European I'm culturally impaired in this regard but that's not what I would call "hustle", at least not in a good way.
