his actions are right or wrong. He is not neutral. He does not believe in right versus wrong or immoral versus moral. HE DOESN'T CARE! Those concepts are not relevant to his world. The only considerations governing his actions are "Will it benefit me?" and "Can I get away with it?"

An immoral person recognizes right and wrong and chooses to do wrong. An amoral person never ponders "right" or "wrong" because he doesn't believe in the concepts. He does as he pleases, period.
