I don’t believe Jesus is commending shrewdness that encourages stealing from our fellow man.

Nor do I. As I said in the sermon. But he is commending shrewdness in dealing with money, to use it for righteous purposes.

A money manager who defrauds his client by convincing debtors to defraud the master by cooking the books may be shrewd and using his noggin.

Unfortunately, I consider these to be dishonorable and unrighteous actions that I personally will not commit. I think that you need a different parable.
