Rotface is a homeless ghoul living in Freeside. When the player meets him for the first time, he offers to give them information about what's going on in New Vegas in exchange for some caps.

You might think that paying a homeless informant is both useful and the right thing to do. After all, you help him feed himself, and he helps you stay updated on the latest gossip. However, after paying Rotface a few times, you notice that he doesn't spend his money on basic supplies but on utterly different things altogether.

The first time around, the man buys himself a nice hat, then some new clothes, and eventually a gun. A gun, which he immediately uses to attempt to kill his Moneybags employer and take all of their money, once and for all.

So yes. Being a good person is only going to put blood on your hands and take hundreds of caps out of your pockets.
