Human morals/behavior aren't like a fractal that's the same at every level. Let's see a study like this where much larger amounts are in play.
As a young adult, my dad warned me that people are basically honorable up to about $10K. In practice, I've found everyone's threshold is different and fluctuates greatly with their individual situation and the broader economic situation. For example, right now I'm seeing otherwise successful and decent folks do really ugly things over 4 figure money.

If somebody is going to defraud you, it's going to be for an amount less than $10k. Amounts of money higher than that may entice people into doing things they otherwise wouldn't, sure, but there I'd submit that they were never honorable in the first place if they can be bought for the right price.
