Ethics?

Yes this is unethical

I suspect the middleman just wants to pay their bills/mortgage and keep a roof over their head and perhaps that of his/her family and you cant blame them, even if it is unethical

The real unethical thing here is the disingenuous nature of money

I remember a story about a guy who outsourced his own job to some guy in china and then sat in the office watching cat videos while the chinese guy did all the work for a lesser fee

He was commended for is ingenuity.

Can you see the point I am making here?

There is a connection if you look hard enough

Ethics is a woolly subject, just like the law

Example, the Iraq war was illegal

Then it wasnt

Attorney general changed their mind

See?

Woolly
