I'd figure Chaotic neutral because to be evil you have to actively do things with malice. If it's for personal gain according to their personal morality, it's neutral because they could fall in line with the law by coincidence.
If your personal morality allows you to do anything, as long as you profit from it in some way, you don‘t have any morality at all. You‘re evil.
Okay then what's the difference between someone who's apathetic and someone who actively likes hurting people? Nothing? Those are the same alignment? I don't get why this is so hard to understand.
If you're apathetic because it's none of your business or you're afraid for your family, that's neutral. If you're apathetic to their pleas for mercy as you evict them into the snow so you can make more money, that's evil.
The core question is: are you willing to hurt others to benefit yourself?
