I think it depends on what you do with the wallet upon finding it. If you clean out the cash and toss it in the trash, I think it's no different than taking it out of someone's pocket.

If you let somebody drown by not throwing them a life vest I think it's morally equivalent to throwing them overboard without a vest in the first place. I believe in consequentialism so only the final outcome matters. In either case ploppy loses money and ap makes money.

So, causing a situation ( lying to get a person to do something they normally would not do, generate multipliers and leave them ) is the same as finding a situation ( abandoned multipliers)? So, lifting someone's wallet, dropping it on the ground and then picking it up and keeping it is the same as finding a wallet on the ground? I don't know how you make those 2 equal.
And your man overboard situation is even a further stretch. Throwing the person overboard and causing their death is a criminal offense. Not jumping to save them is not a criminal offense. Huge difference.
Causing a situation and not fixing a situation are way, way different.
