your term is closely related to the "law of the jungle" as per this example:

Pure and Utilitarian science together gave us wonderful methods of production and terrible engines of war, and the use and direction of these things is left in the hands of men chosen by the method of "survival of the fittest", the method of the *** jungle, *** which today means simply the survival of the most unscrupulous, in business and in politics.

or "every man for himself" - might serve your purpose.

As Kipling had it. I think this means just that, it's the "who dares wins" idea that the unscrupulous come out on top.

See a description of the provenance of the expression:

If you google "survival of the slipperiest" you get over 2000 hits, and based on your description it should have the right connotations to match the source term - crafty, sly, wily, etc.

I would not use smart because as we say in Colombia with that kind of acting a cheater ends up being a "dumb smart".
