To me, the act of amassing all that wealth is a crime by itself. It is the accumulation of countless (small and big) transactions in which you could have shared the value more equally, and decided not to. You could have paid your employees more, and decided not to. You could have made your product/service more affordable (to more people) and you decided not to. After having accumulated a certain amount of wealth, I think such decisions are immoral.
