Yeah this makes sense. One of the cases where A causes both B and C. People willing to take part in criminal activities are almost definitionally less risk averse. You're risking fines, loss of reputation, prison, unemployability, destitution. Not then surprising that those same people would be more willing to take undue financial risk, all the while maybe closing an eye to some red flags.
