They might have expected to get more than 150k USD from the scam.

Maybe if it was the first time the scam appeared, but this is old hat now. This was possibly thrown together quickly to make the most of an explot before the API changed. Prior to this there is no reason to assume they were not very careful with access and this was not the main money making part of the job.
