It was more a metaphor for everyone has a price where they will do stuff for profit if they think there is a good chance they will get away with it.
They were part of a capitalist driven system of supply and demand.
The people who buy the product buy it willingly ( at first ).

as long as people like Chang and Sukumaran are happy to inflict misery and death on others in the pursuit of the almighty dollar, they will continue.

Just look at how many so called "good" people ( who are ridiculously well paid ) are proving to be corrupt in this country.
I can draw a distinction between people who "choose" to use drugs, vs people who are targetted as innocent collateral damage.
Ie should lawyers/financial advisors etc who rip people off to the point where they suicide due to the shame of being destitute be subject to the death penalty???
Its not a simple problem.
