I would question the ethics of someone who would steal business from his employer. Ask yourself this, if he was legit and could run his own company without stealing work from his employer, wouldn’t he be doing so? He’s likely using substandard labor, not insured, not paying tax etc. I know tons of trade guys who do side work, but they get jobs through word of mouth and reputation, not funneling work to themselves at their full time job

I would question the ethics of the system that says he who does it cheapest wins. The painter played by the rules of capitalism and out competed his opponent. According to the rules of the road he wins.
