Being a scammer doesn’t mean you’re a criminal mastermind.
It takes capital, time, and work to become “the EA of scams”, at which point you’re calling further scrutiny on yourself, meaning even more work (and staff, who you’ll have to trust) to not be in hot water with the law.
Scammers, like the people they scam, are mostly after a quick easy buck. You’re posing “why not” questions as if it’s straightforward to accomplish what you’re suggesting. It’s not. It takes effort and risk without a guarantee of success. Most scammers don’t become “the EA of scams” for the same reasons most game companies don’t become EA.
