My last assignment before I retired was as a Fraud and Cyber Crimes Detective Lieutenant. We investigated all kinds of very sophisticated crimes and it was amazing how smart the bad guys were.

Yep, folks will expend a lot of time, energy, and intelligence figuring out a way to profit at the expense of others.
