Why is there a tone of respect/admiration around scams like this but when a small startup founder makes a less-than-criminal mistake (eg lendedu) HN users want their heads on a stake?

The current top-voted comment [0] expresses amazement -- not admiration -- that the hack was so stupidly simple. Can't read the author's mind, but I share a similar sentiment: it's amazing that this crime was possible, and it reveals the incompetence/complacency of the Iowa Lottery's IT.
