Yeah, because they want the world to know they are successful criminals. Just wondering: do they also wear a Beagle Boys mask?

No, they want other criminals to know they're trustworthy. The risk of doing business is very high in criminal endeavors. People may have (or want to access) great deals to offer but no easy way to safely broker a transaction. This also creates the very conditions for these great deals to exist.
