Criminals don't have the same cultural/legal pressure pushing them to scrape every dollar out of a transaction that corporations do. I think you're more likely to get paid generously or even favorably by a criminal enterprise than a 'straight' one.
- munk-a 5y agoIndeed, you think that - and that's greatly to their benefit. If they can screw you over without risk that the next person to come along has a different opinion then they will - and if they do screw you over what are you going to do... take them to court? Unless you can hire a private army to reclaim your funds there is no recourse for betrayal - you're dealing with blind faith.
- kortilla 5y agoLol, criminals aren’t greedy now? There are countless stories of criminals turning on each other over the division of loot.
- burnished 5y agoNo, not some robin-hood narrative, just that in terms of self interest you'd want to pay accomplices, and perhaps a sense of gratitude or fair play. There aren't any share holders to appease or anything like that. That isn't to say everyone who chips in is going to get a cut and its all lollipops and sugar snaps in the extortioners guild! But if you're thinking Oceans 11 or something you've missed the mark.
- kortilla 5y ago> and perhaps a sense of gratitude or fair play. There aren't any share holders to appease or anything like that. That’s not a thing. Even non-criminals very frequently feel that someone didn’t fulfill an agreement and refuse to pay. Companies most certainly aren’t refusing to pay people to please shareholders. Shareholders hate companies that don’t pay their bills.
