It was undoubtedly unethical behavior. But it's like... well it's like the story of Toshihide Iguchi, who accumulated over a billion dollars of trading losses and hid them successfully for 12 years. Sure you throw the guy in prison, but you have to hand it to him that what he managed to do is pretty damn impressive. After his release, finance CCOs might even want to hire him to audit their traders.
You can get off your high horse about not being able to acquire your degree without cheating, too. I never once cheated at any point in college, but if I had spent more time working on sick electronics projects and less time memorizing the years of significant 15th century battles, I'd be more qualified technically, not less. The ethics of it are problematic as I've said, but you seem to be going farther and implying something about his ability as well.
