Morality is not objective.
If you want people to stop doing something, make it illegal.
If you can't muster the political will to do so, clearly not enough people agree with your view of morality (assuming a functional democracy).

As slow as it seems to be, my perception is that societal attitudes towards wealth have been shifting over the past few decades. I'm hopeful that one day, the tolerance for their misdeeds continue to dropbenough to inspire progressively more social and legal change, as you suggested.
Public witch hunts are called "witch hunts" for a reason, and it's not a pretty one. It's also known as "mob justice", which despite the name is generally considered to be not justice at all.
That... doesn't seem true to reality. Maybe I'm remembering it incorrectly.
In my view, society would become severely dysfunctional if we are expected to withhold our negative views of someone's choices, from fear that too many people will share those views.
