Legally and morally are two different things.
The law is not ethical, or moral, or good, or true. It just is.
It’s questionable whether Bezos is acting morally.
As far as I know, at least within reason, he is acting legally.
Asking whether something is legal or not is nonsensical.
Was it productive, fully informed (transparent), warrantied, voluntary, and without imposition of costs against the investments of others? If yes then it is ethical, moral, and hopefully legal.

I’ve looked into this, and the answer is the same for any developing country: if you can produce a judiciary, police force, and military that will enforce property rights, moral (reciprocal) contracts, and where bureaucrats are open to suit by anyone for corruption, then eventually you will prosper.
Nigeria and Ghana at the very least have nothing but time holding them from becoming an advanced society. There are, in both countries, upper middle class (professionals), and those people are the ones who matter.

“He who can destroy a thing, owns a thing.” Revolutions determine ownership. Revolutions are improbable in prospect and deterministic in retrospect. Revolution Comes!!! #Trump #Conservative

PROPERTARIANISM AND ITS DISCONTENTS (sic)
So far Propertarianism has spun off a number of groups, and affected change on related philosophical schools.
However, what does not seem to ‘spin off’ is the reduction of all thought and action to economic language of gains, losses and incentives.
I explain traditions in economic prose that is merely an extension of physical science.
The reason others don’t take this with them, being that most folks are looking for mindfulness (stoic exit) or fulfillment (romantic exit) or some sort of justification for their intuitions (philosophical exit), or excuse for lack of competitive ability (fictional exit). They’re looking for exit – not responsibility.
They are not looking for a METHOD OF RULE that produces superior competition for the group, and superior rewards for rulers, or competitive transcendence (meaning evolution and speciation) of man.
Aristocracy = Rule by the Best, Continuous Competitiion, and as a result Continuous Evolution, resulting in Speciation and Transcendence – all of it at a higher standard of living, and therefore with greater agency.
A religion that provides mindfulness in the personal, interpersonal, and political realms, to those what want the benefits of aristocracy without the responsibility, is only interesting to me so far as it provides means of producing that mindfulness in favor of action, of competition, of invention, of transcendence – not by exit, but by responsibility.
Eat The Weak.
