I think it's because of what Bruce Schneier notes about crime. Most criminals don't use mathematical probability on their actions or threat modelling. If they did they wouldn't even start in the first place after figuring out the probability of them being busted is too high. As for the ATM magstripe stealer, a guy here ripped it off a machine and 2 thugs KOd him and took it back. They are usually watching next time you should just walk away from the ATM and see if there's 2 guys sitting in a car watching you. There has been cases of hackers building empires, Max Vision was one of them. He met his crew in prison. Where I live there is also a software engineer police say went to prison as a white collar criminal and came out a memeber of a crew and is actively gangstering up the streets, and breaks into competitors phones to spy on them. He fled the country after a second arrest for engineering a pretty impressive fraud scheme where they managed to somehow switch the POS terminals at the local airport with their own and for a few years, stole countless cards. Passengers have to pay a 'departure fee' and since all the victims were heading out of the country it was a good scam and went unnoticed. He also survived a shooting at a nightclub where 3 rivals tried to kill him because of spying and being a "manager" for whatever criminal operation he was in charge of. So there is so-called nerds out there who went fully to the dark side. His first mugshot he is Mr. White Collar, second mugshot he is juiced/roided out with classic gangster Christian Audigier shirt and covered in crew tattoos.
