If you could gave me a magic button to kill 10 people and make me rich, without any tricky business (like risk of being punished) then I would push it.
I should also hope that nobody else would, and by the sound of things many wouldn't.
The trick there is that you can't easily disconnect who you are from what you do. If you're the sort of person who would really push that button, then people will be able to tell; it will show up in your other actions. Your other virtues will decline as well, and you will be less successful at making friendships, doing business, and having a good life.
I don't go around telling people, and if I was in the audience I would raise my hand with everybody else.
