Some people lack the ability to accurately assess the risks of their own actions, for a variety of reasons. Personality disorders, arrogance, institutional pressure, a long history of getting away with said risky behavior, can all cloud or utterly shatter the ability of someone to appreciate where the road they're on is most likely to lead.

In this case I'd suggest the reason is 'money', not some mental issue.

Sure, greed is a factor, but most people are greedy, while still managing to appreciate the risks of being caught.

They may completely appreciate the risks, however, and simply have judged it unlikely they would be caught.

I mean... isn't that the primary risk?
