Reaping the Whirlwind of Greed

This printing plant once published several newspapers. Now it's shut down.

   What happens to the greedy?

   Consider the plight of newspapers. During their good times, they charged exorbitant rates for classified ads. They imposed onerous contracts on freelance contributors. In short, newspapers practiced greed. Since then, most newspapers have suffered declines in circulations and revenues.
   For years I bought pizza from a restaurant in my town. The owners were Greek immigrants. Their prices were fair and their service was friendly. Different owners took over that business. They jacked up the prices. At first they benefited from their greed. But now, lots of people, myself included, no longer patronize that restaurant.
   Greed is considered one of the seven deadly sins. This implies that greediness will be punished in the afterlife.
   In commerce, is greed is a harbinger of decline? For souls, can greed can lead to ruination?
