A Utilitarian would say that taking money out of the drug dealers hands is ultimately a better good for society. So, the ends would justify the means of cheating to take the money from them.
That being said, I doubt you took the money to a local children's charity and donated it all.
And Kant would say that you were a jerk and your view of immortality is skewed beyond reproach concerning what is right and wrong. The results do not validate the action.

Definitely an interesting thread though.
