All you need to do is make one assumption: dishonest people will outperform honest people over the short term. Then every year Amazon's "culling" will get rid of the honest people and keep the dishonest ones. Rinse and repeat. Soon only the sociopaths are left.

Best supporting quote from the article: "You learn how to diplomatically throw people under the bus."
