There's a great quote in "Liar's Poker" where the author's mentor is explaining to him the dissatisfaction he feels even though he got a big bonus. He describes how as you earn more you become ever more jealous of people who are earning even more than you.

No, it's about dominance and winning. It isn't about the reward. It's about the game.

In reality, the overwhelming majority of fraud and theft never gets prosecuted, and organised crime is an actual thing.

We even know governments run drug cartels to fund black-ops, and sell stolen weapons to this weeks chosen side.

And makes for a pretty boring documentary or film adaptation.

The reward is just a way to keep score.
