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.
I wouldn't push the button if it picked people at random, although I might consider the risk of killing a valuable person worthwhile if the payoff is big enough.
I guess the real question is: what is the value of other people? It does not seem to be a trivial matter.
