I honestly think it's more a burgeoning understanding, often born from painful personal experience, that some professions draw a disproportionate number of psychopaths and sociopaths. Law enforcement, Corrections, and High finance according to some estimates have a couple of dozens of times the background levels of sociopaths you'd find it society. It's hardly shocking, when you see what someone like Martin Shkreli can do, and realize that the major qualification is not being a moron, and not having a conscience. A lot of the "brilliant innovation" out there is just a matter of people who aren't fazed by the notion of collecting all of your data and selling it on, or giving birth to Mirai if it means selling more toasters. When a slick suit, the ability to lie without actually feeling any anxiety or doubt, and a "strong presence" can net you millions before anyone realizes that they made a bad bed... is it a shock? When that person can leverage their titanic failure into work experience that makes them more likely to be funded next time?
