Every time somebody gains, somebody else loses.
Not in an honest exchange, but if there is deception or coercion, definitely.
I find it strange when people see corruption and deception in the market, and then assume the solution is some kind of political oversight, as if politics is not orders of magnitude more destructive than bad actors in the market. Not only is there coercion and deception, but every election is at best a zero sum game with an artificially limited range of choice to boot.
