It is as if you said, "Why pick on the biggest scammer? Everybody scams some". First, it isn't true - lots of people are not going out and breaking the economy. Second, even if it where true, Heff is one of the people to exploit it the most and the worst. He is acting just like Moo: Find a broken game mechanic, then exploit it for all it is worth until the developers get it fixed. He has made an entire corporate business model out of taking one of the most broken things in the Eve mechanics as far as he can. In that sense, Playboy is no better than Moo - Playboy just has better PR, because the way they screw everybody over is much more subtle than how Moo did it. Contrary to what you say, that doesn't speak well for his character or his business practices, it only proves that he is good at gaming the system at the expense of everybody else.
