Massive frauds are predictable when it becomes profitable to participate. For example, right now in the UK, the government is guaranteeing certain loans through a Covid relief program. Predictably, banks are letting a high number of fraudulent loan applications through. The banks are participating in the fraud as victims, willing victims who expect to make a profit from it. It seems like the government is going to raise its eyebrows and "tut-tut" a little bit but basically let them get away with it.
