A businessman, who may be a good person, but who commits a sin like lying about a material fact, etc., to complete a business deal, is a bad businessman. But, that does not mean he is a bad person. Commerce is the glue that holds civlization together. Religion should not be an impediment to commerce. But, crimes against commerce are crimes against civilization. And, of course, we all are guilty. On a more metaphyisical level, let those who are without sin cast the first stone. But, as a civilization, we must set in place methods of ensuring proper remedy for breaches of contractual obligations. As for a proper response to your question, it depends upon the extent of their awareness of the fact that they are seeking evil goals.
