I guess I'm not scamming anyone out of anything but if I was and got a million.... I like to think I'd be smart enough to burn everything and enjoy...

I hear people all the time saying "if I made a startup and sold if for millions of dollars, I'd retire and never work again", when most people who do make millions on their startup continue to work. It's that work ethic that is what made them that multi-million dollar startup.
Whether criminal or not, there's a particular work ethic that keeps people like this making more money when they could retire happily.
The dude who sold their startup doesn't have much to lose at that point to take another shot.
The criminal though who goes for that extra million can lose it all.
Very different risks and stuff to weigh.
Thank goodness criminals are dumb!
Are they all dumb, or is it that only dumb ones get caught and you end up reading about them, while the smart ones carry on undetected?
This is not just with scams and crimes, but even with good things.
