      I thought they meant the same

      Is “Nestle earned 100 billion USD by murdering children” a invalid use for the word?

        “Earn” is a more objective word. Depends on who the judge is. Does a bank robber “earn” their money?

        But yes, it could apply by definition. It’s more a statement of opinion on the speaker’s part.
