This is not uncommon. This is taking tradecraft and applying it in a useful and valuable way (for society as a whole). Frank Abagnale is one such example.
American security consultant known for his history as a former confidence trickster, check forger, and impostor between the ages of 15 and 21.
Abagnale also continues to advise the FBI, with whom he has associated for over 40 years, by teaching at the FBI Academy and lecturing for FBI field offices throughout the country.
