He apparently does not understand the principle of spending money to make money. To me, he is a money-grubber.

I'm sure he understands it - the problem is that he doesn't care if the business suffers in the long run.  He just plans on taking what money he can and running on to his next target, poor souls.

As was noted in another thread, hardly a week goes by that some vulture capitalist doesn't try to find a new mark.

Larry and Balt, you are right. Such bloodsuckers care nothing for other people. Apparently, they believe that anybody who has concern for the livihood of other people is a sap.
