Yeah, I'm sure a well paid attorney could probably come up with some legal theory that "makes it OK" to attempt to entice an employee into committing a crime for the purpose of rooting out employees who would commit a crime in exchange for money. A well paid attorney worth their salt will likely tell you that you don't want to test that theory with a court and the various employment watchdogs. Engaging in such a plan and through happenstance and human fallibility ending up actually creating harm to an actual customer could potentially expose you to a tort claim.
