like you said one set of rules for the rich one for the rest of u I agree with your double standard comment but, technically, the Codex only prohibits Wesen from "revealing" themselves to humans in order to take advantage of them. If the Hexenbiest lawyers were woging in front of human clients and scaring them into signing contracts that would be one thing; but, if they were just using their charms to influence people, that wouldn't be all that much different from what ordinary lawyers and assorted other con men do.

And then there are the Wesen athletes. In The Last Fight, Nick made the comment to Hank that there were probably lots of Wesen in professional sports. Their innate physical prowess might give them an advantage but, as long as they didn't full woge in public, there would be no violation of Council law.
