I once did some research into this whilst at university. Basically the criminal mindset is often very very close to an entrepreneurial one - if not the same. It comes down to value systems generally with the individual, although entrepreneurs are often found to bend or change the rules to suit themselves. For example Richard Branson, when he first started, ended up in trouble with the law as he exploited what an export-import system for records, ultimately ending up with a heavy fine, though no jail time.
