For your consideration, the Lever Problem.
Let's say there's a lever, and when you pull it two things happen simultaneously. You get a lump sum of $20,000,000 that you can do anything with, and at the same time 60,000 innocent sickly people die who would've otherwise not died. If you see the lever, you know exactly what happens if you pull it before actually pulling it.
If someone pulls the lever - if they kill 60,000 people for a lump sum of cash - are they evil?
