In my mind, scruples and morals and ethics are not so intertwined as I think most people think.
If someone is totally unscrupulous, they can get around whether they think something is moral or not. The morality of it would not stop them (example, I am totally against liquor because of several folks I know dying from it, but I ended up working in the liquor industry...rationalized it with "someone's going to sell it whetrher I dio or not"..so even though Liquor may be immoral in my view, since it was legal, it was ok..)
I someone is totally scrupulous, they might NOT do something even though they thought it was totally ethical and moral.
