To start with, there are millions of definitions for bad people, but taking your examples into account I can answer your question. Many people just search for success, which nowadays has become a synonym for money, in different ways; some get to it working hard, but others just figure out some easier ways to get them, out of the rules. This can be the case of Pablo Escobar, who avoided laws to become one of the most rich people that have ever lived. In this way, bad people CAN be successful, but their success is not taken to much into account or not valued as much as other people success, as Falcao, who is known by the hard way he had to go for accomplishing what he is now. Successful people can be good or bad, but the real value of success is the long way someone took to get it, not just the success itself.

Dear Majo, it is important to see this fro. A wider perspective where people as Donald Trump are one case from millions of people, the probability of reaching the success of Pablo Escobar is almost nule if we consider that he is only one case of success from thousands of Criminals that end killed, end in prison forever or end addicted drugs.

I think that Pablo Escobar or Donald Trump are or were successful people, since they have a purpose and with a purpose you decide how far you want to go with it, the problem is that some purposes of some people would not have a positive effect to the society, but I think that those people reach the succes when they achieve what they want, and most of those bad people achive it.

People today doesn't need to take care about other people, well, the word "bad" can have many meanings, however the fact is when ypu give all your time and attitude toward something you can reach it. even if you are a "bad" person
