Simple, most police forces don’t have the skills or the interest in pursuing these types of crime. The lack of physical theft or injury, and the requirement to chase individuals by requesting digital evidence from banks etc, plus the small value of each individual crime (probably only $20), even if the aggregate amount stolen is large, and finally the fact the criminal is probably out of their physical jurisdiction, means police just don’t care.
As a result, if you’re stealing funds in a purely digital fashion, you can generally expect to be able to steal millions before anyone investigates you. You need to operating at a level where the FBI or, more likely, Secret Service takes an interest. QR codes on parking signs just doesn’t cut it.
