So, in your theory, it doesn't matter that people were harmed, just that it will eventually get brought to light. Of course, the harm isn't undone, so there is no real-life value for the actual human beings affected. And, of course, since you have to wait until provable harm has already been done before you can do anything about it, your system doesn't provide any protection for the common man. There will always be unethical business practices, there will always be greed, and it may not pay off in the "long term" but that doesn't mean people won't get hurt in the meantime. Allowing business to run rampant is a plan that guarantees unethical practices.
