In my country of birth, Peru, there is a saying that directly translates to the phrase "being able to" ('ser hábil'). It is a very negative and tongue in cheek way of saying that one can accomplish something no matter what, even if that means doing minor crimes or corruption. Obviously this is a credo for criminals in Peru and is used to make light of any "none serious" crime. It's a toxic attitude to have and a direct detriment to the economy of the country.
