Expected value doesn't really work for rare events. A 1% chance of $50M and a 1% chance of $2B are barely different to a person.

For a person it doesn't matter. But the context here is gangs, and for organizations it could make a difference. $2B can be split many-ways and still have significant money for everyone.
