Wealth is correlated with greed, dishonesty and cheating -- are these effects or a causes?

If you follow the links down the rabbit hole to the actual studies in question, the studies themselves are ok reads (subscriptions required in a few cases). But then you run up against the study of the studies here and that study calls all the other ones bunk.

I mean, we’re gonna hang the 1% anyway, (check swear jar (aka bank account), donate to charity, am I under that imaginary line? donate more just to be safe) lets just not pretend we’re justified based on shoddy work. Let’s do it because there are billionaires who are the leaders of our countries (I’m looking at you US, Russia, China, and so forth) who are grifting the rest of us into seeing each other as the enemy, and not them.
