It’s no different than if I bought the building and had made payment with a later closing date. If the owner then had a better offer he couldn’t take it because the contract has been signed and money had exchanged hands.

What occurred was not capitalism it was fraud. Calling it capitalism is like calling rape aggressive dating.

It’s not always clear though as I think some rental agencies will just pretend to be actual hosts, for instance, by employing someone to pretend to be the host.

If I had a loaf of bread and promised to sell it to someone for ‘a dime’,bi wouldn’t then sell it to another person who offered me ‘a buck’ as that is not ethical! I would buy another loaf and sell that one instead.

What has happened here is no different. You have to be ethical in business otherwise you will not gain trust and without trust and loyalty you won’t have the opportunity to experience capitalism.
