Excluding ideological motivators, if you are technically competent to pull off a cybercrime and escape unseen, you are technically competent enough to work at a tech company making 300k+ a year while only doing about 10 hours of actual work per week.

Treating this just like investments, over your lifetime, its a no brainer on which is the better path to take.

And a smart enough person would also know that there's a long chain of caveats to this specious claim, significant enough that being a criminal and getting away with it is much more compelling.

None of the caveats include hypothetically being thrown in prison though. Being a criminal and getting away with it is significantly harder than phoning in your job as part of a capitalist machine

You're on a forum that's thematically dedicated to the idea of being a "hacker" in spirit; to a lot of people, the easy boring path isn't attractive.
