Great, now we're defending embezzlement and fraud with public funds on HN, because we really really hate big business.

A child caught doing something bad will cry "but my friends also did it!", is that the level of reasoning hackers want to be at?

That seems like a bad faith read to me. Nobody is defending it, just pointing out the irony / hypocrisy. Two things can be bad, and they can be related.

What part of that said "defense?"

They can both be bad.

I might be missing something, but I don’t see anyone defending the the scams.
